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 :)

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.
