The GNUbies and LXNY, with NYLUG in support, are throwing a big
Install Fest on Sunday 17 June 2001 in Brooklyn.

This Install Fest is free and open to all.

This Install Fest is made possible through the work and kind generosity of
the organizers and all the volunteers.  We especially thank Ruben Safir,
Mrs. Safir, and HCE.

All free software welcome!  We do not discriminate among free kernels based
upon the first letter of their names.  We shall install as many free
systems on as many machines and on as many different kinds of machines as
possible.  We shall install both Linux kerneled and free *BSD kerneled
systems.  Any person who installs or helps install the Hurd or Squeak or
any Lisp OS or any ML OS will be treated to a family drink.

All experienced installers are invited to come and help.

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


Date: Sunday June 17 2001.

Time: Starts at 1:00 pm.
      Late comers are just as welcome as those who arrive at 1:00 pm.

	   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.
	   Telephone lines will be provided, so we can help with PPP.

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.
