Manish’s Scribble Board

So finally our labour bore fruits. LUG Manipal is on its way to development and popularity. We are going to organize an Install Fest where all people can bring their laptops and we will guide them in installing this great OS. In short, we will be making their laptops dual-boot with Windows Vista/XP with Fedora8/Ubuntu. Having two OS on a single computer can be sometimes a problematic feature if you dont know how stuff works. You could even screw up your system badly if you go on playing too much with safety.

The Install fest is a two-day event. First day will be a pre-install event where all people are required to attend to have some basic knowledge what they are going to do. They will be asked to defragmen their hard disk and run a scandisk on all there partitions so that disk splitting software doesnt screw up the filesystems on the partitions.

We are asking them to bring a blank DVD on the first day, they have to get Fedora 8 written on it, or they can submit their blank DVD to us and we will write the stuff on it and return it on the next day. The second day is the main install fest day. It is this day that the installation will be done and all basic setups explained as per requirements. The schedule is as follows:

Date: 23rd January, Wednesday - Pre-install fest

24th January,Thursday - Main Installation day

Venue : NLH 303

Time: 5: 30PM

Registration charges: NONE
