Re: Linux install, Oct 6

That's fine, I'll let the answers fly, both for your benefit and from everyone
on the mailing list. 

>1)  Will this be at your normal meeting place?
This has been our normal meeting place since February.

>    If so, can I get a little more detailed directions to there?
visit http://klug.armintl.com/meetings; you'll find links to maps there.

>    Basically, how is the best way to get to Portage road from WMU?
I like to tke Sadium east into Kalamazoo, then down Michigan to Portage.
Others may like other routes, but I'm a downtown kind a guy.

>2)  Can you help me setup Linux with my network cards? (I have two)
Yes, we can. One of our members brings a network-capable laptop to meetings.

>3)  Should I bring a monitor?
Yes, I'd reccommend that ypu bring the monitor that will be used with the com-
puers, especially if you are going to use X-Windows. Its a good thing to adjust
everything together. 

>6)  How late will this probably run?    
About 9PM. 

>7)  Is there any way to mount FAT32 partitions on Linux yet?  Any idea on 
>    how the WINE project is?
Check out http://www.winehq.com; IMO WINE has had substantial progress in the
last year.  While I have not used WINE, I expect to do so soon.
