> This document provides some guidelines that should help you
|
|
run a successful installfest.
|
|
For purposes of this document, an installfest is a gathering at
|
|
which experienced Linux users assist less experienced users with the
|
|
installation and configuration of Linux distributions,
|
|
and where Linux users can
|
|
bring Linux systems to receive assistance with system problem
|
|
remediation.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
> Please take from this document whatever you want. It is meant to be
|
|
a guide, not a recipe that must be followed exactly
|
|
to have a successful installfest.
|
|
Any installfest where most of the people leave happy is a
|
|
successful event.
