I can't make fridays

I would be willing to help with a Debian install (tho i've only ever
done one install and that was 2.2 a year ago).  The latest stable
release is 3.0r1.  I have 3.0r0 CDs, so one option would be to install
3.0r0 using those, and then demonstrate apt by upgrading to 3.0r1
(either with the CDs Thorben has, or over a network).

It sounds fun.
