 LXNY will throw

> at
 The Downtown Office of Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions on
> the Island of the
 Manahattoes.  See below for exact
> address, directions, and times.

 Members of CFSG and of
> GNUbies will be present to give as much help as we
 all
> can.

 This Install Fest is free and open to
> all.

 Every member of every free software org, tribe,
> drinking club, and family,
 is invited, without prejudice,
> without fear, and without favor.

 Newcomers are
> particularly invited.  Come down and join us, even if you
> are
 just starting to learn about free
> software.


 This Install Fest is made possible through
> the work and kind generosity of
 the organizers and all the
> volunteers.  We especially thank Paul Kontonis
 of Kaplan
> Test Prep and Admissions, and Dolly Nielsen of Silicon
> Alley
 Station for making this event possible.  We thank
> Kaplan Test Prep and
 Admissions for the generous gift of
> venue.

 All
> free software welcome!  We do not discriminate among free kernels
> based
 upon the first letter of their names.  We shall
> install both Linux kerneled
 and free *BSD kerneled systems,
> and we will make an attempt at any other
 free OS.
>  Because this Fest is of short duration, and because the
> expertise
 of our scheduled helpers lies in Debian based
> GNU/Linux systems, we
 particularly invite those who want to
> install this kind of Home Free Unix
 to this
> Fest.

 All experienced installers are invited to come and
> help.  If your favorite
 Free OS is not a Debian let us
> know as soon as possible, and we will
 advertise the style of
> OS you offer to help with.

 All students of economics, of
> the history of engineering, and of the art
 of propaganda are
> invited.


 Date: Saturday 24 September
> 2005

 Time: Starts at 11:00 am
     
>  Runs to 4:00 pm
       Likely best to
> arrive before noon.

 Location: Kaplan Test Prep and
> Admissions
           Manhattan
> Village
           16 Cooper
> Square
           New York, NY
> 10003

           Room number will
> be posted at door.

         
>  Subway: Eighth Street stop on the N, R, sometimes W,
> lines;
           Astor Place on the 6
> line; Third Avenue on the crosstown L line;
     
>      Lower EastSide-Second Avenue-Houston Street on the
> F, V lines
           Note that some
> of these lines may not be running right this
> weekend.

 Hardware: Bring the boxes on which you wish to
> run a Free OS.
           Though it is
> safest to bring your monitor, keyboard, and mouse,
   
>        you need not.  We will have such
> available onsite.
           Internet
> connections via ethernet will be provided.

 Software: Bring
> whatever distribution CDs, boot and rescue disks, boot
   
>        managers, tiny distributions, manuals, and
> anything else you
           want.
>  Again, you need not bring any of these things, since
 
>          they will be available onsite.
>  Extra copies of Knoppix are
         
>  always welcome.

 Important: Everything done to/with
> any computer at any Install Fest,
         
>   and in particular, at this Install Fest, is done at the
 
>           specific request of the owner of the
> computer.  As with
           
> all human endeavor, there is some risk of catastrophe.
   
>         Back up all your data, before coming to the
> Fest!  In addition,
           
> make a list of all hardware and media you bring to the Fest,
 
>           and check that you have all your
> hardware and media when you
         
>   leave the Fest.
