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.
