okay let's figure out what are goals are, how we can achieve them best, and then which hardware we need.
goals: - demonstrate installation process. - demonstrate pacman / general Arch concepts such as rc.conf - (show off a DE/WM. many options here: kde3, but also lxde/openbox etc can be interesting and are more KISS. showing a dualscreen setup may be cool as well, but needed? do we even have enough room?)
means: - @ installation procedure: it's indeed usefull to have a video here, so we don't have to do it manually everytime a user wants to see it. Gerhard, how did you do the video last year? can you do it again or tell me how to do it? - @ installation procedure: it's also possible to do completely automated installations, but probably not many people are interested in that (you also see no ncurses interfaces and such). maybe we can also make a video and show both videos?
It looked a bit weird, having a video about a curses installation running in endless loop. He recorded a virtualbox session with recordmydesktop or similar, details will be in his reply :)
- @ DE/wm show off: we need a pc with a tried and working setup, especially if we use dualscreen. and we must be sure users cannot fuck things up. Jens your pc is good for this?
I don't know if we have dualhead. Last year, Jens brought a machine with nvidia, so we just installed KDE 4.2 and showed some stuff there. We installed it live on Saturday morning and then just did stuff with it. And btw, I want users to fuck this thing up, give them root and let them play around, reinstall if they break it :) We need clean hard drives for that, I have one 320GB and one 120GB which we could use if there are no others.
