RE: External CD-ROM at Installfest

Depending on the distro, it may be easier to find a PCMCIA NIC (3c574,
3c575,etc) and do a network install. Possibly easier than finding an
external cdrom drive that'll work without needing any additional drivers or
configuration, anyhow. Just suggesting the 3com variety because they're
very common and have been around for quite a long time, so they should be
supported by almost any network install. I'm sure your wireless card would
work just fine, but for an initial install it may be easier to use something
tried and true. :)

Is that a usb external you are talking about, as most
are or some other interface. They did make scsi
externals I think and I know of one parallel port or
so model.

I have an external, but wasn't definitely planning on
coming, just if the mood strikes and weather.

Cyclists should expect and demand safe
accommodation on our public roads,
just as does every other user.

Nothing more is expected.

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
