Rik,
Due to your organisation the public had the chance to try gnu/linux
on SFD. That opportunity is not available at the connectivity convention
as B-GLU does not have a booth.

My concern is that being an IT conference anyone who is interested
in gnu/linux will want a proper demonstration not just a install cd.

It boots from usb pendrives, pcmcia CF cards and 100 Mb parallel zip 
drives for install onto the internal drive.

I have a zip drive here so will try setting it up tonight.
