This will be my first installfest, and I was wandering what distros will be available. I am hoping to install Debian, and I am sure that the other mainstream distros will be available also, but what about the lesser well known ones like Gentoo, Yellowdog, Sorcerer, Damn Small, and others.
Secondly, I am hoping to bring in my nearly dead 166mhz Dell Laptop in for installation. Installation will have be primarily through floppy. I mean primarily because the CDROM runs through a PCMCIA card. Any suggestions for a small distro that I would need to bring with me, if it will not be provided? I do not need a GUI interface on this machine. Links, Bitchx, and mutt are good enough for me.
Finally, I mirrored the Mandrake contrib directory and the Penguin Liberation Front directories, and burned them on DVD-RW with new hdlist.cz files in case someone with a DVD-ROM wants those without spending time downloading the files. The PLF files are uh.. Interesting.
