Erm, the 7 DVDs are actually CDs it seems ;) - my bad. They're x86. One x86_64 
and one PPC as well (though I doubt we'll need them). 

Just shout if you'se want any alternate install (for RAID/etc) CDs burning. 

[Equipment]

I have another VGA cable if it's needed (M<->F). I've also got an 802.11b wifi 
point if nobody else has anything better (I don't think it does encryption, 
I've lost one of the aerials, and come to think of it - it might not even 
work!)

As I understand the campus network, it's DHCP so should just automagically 
work... that could do with being verified, though.

I can volunteer with installs, no problem there. I promise not to edgy 
anyone's machine ;)

Practice session - Sunday /afternoon/ would be best for me - Friday is my "get 
stuff sorted" day. I'm off out to Wendyhouse on the Saturday, so doubt I'll 
be recovering early enough to be sane on the sunday morning!

[Software]
The Ubuntu CDs come with Windows versions of some packages on them, IIRC.

[Tables]
I've sent an email off to my manager just now, enquiring about tables... that 
should get forwarded on to Jenny, so we'll see what comes of that. 

xF,
