Hi,

I'll need to get my little network set up for the PiXiE demo before 8pm
- I guess the room will be available at 7:30, yes?=20

My kit is currently 3 CPUs (varying size), 3 monitors, kbs & mice, a
cheap 10Mbit 8-port hub and lots of ugly wires. Is there a flip-chart or
something to hold one? I'm not sure I'd be able to get a projector so
I'll make a single side A4 handout with some lightweight details...

* the requirements
* the Via EPIA
* Linux distributions
* PXE & pxelinux
* DHCP & tftp
* the kernel & the cramfs initrd
* the tempfs and ramfs filesystems
* XFree86 4.2 chopping and hacking
* shoehorning Blackdown Java into 10Mb

Is Alan still on for the Skipper demo? I'd like to know how long my
spiel should last!

Regards,

Michael.
