I did a google search looking for the next install fest and this came up: http://www.clug.ca/node/423
I presume this is scheduled for 2012/05/13 since there seems to be no reference to the year. I called Dave Watkins and he advised me he doesn't know about this yet. I'd like to make a suggestion that CLUG schedual say 3-4 install fests per year (presuming there is enough interest) and that this be posted prominently on the CLUG website. I think it should be advertized at SAIT and the UofC and perhaps CLUG can alternate between these locations. Other suggestions are welcome. Also depending on my availablilty I will volunteer to help. That being said I'd like some install help. I have a machine which lacks a CD and floppy and I think the only way to get an O/S installed in it is via a USB boot. I have NEVER set up a USB boot before. In fact I have no USB devices other than a memory stick. I want to put in Ubuntu Linux - probably with all the bells and whistles. I also want to get a VM running and a running image of some of the (ugg) winders stuff. (like NT 4.0) and maybe even DOS. One of the reasons for DOS is that I have quite a lot of specialized DOS software that I would like to get running. Some is my own code which drives plotters via an RS232 I/F. If I can get this running somehow it would be great. I tried either DOSEMU or DOSBOX on this machine (Debian Sarge) and it crashed the system as I recall. I'd probably like to get OS/2 running in a VM as well if possible because I happen to have some apps which I bought years ago which might be nice to run. Of course I can do all this myself but just like most others I do not find frustrations to be rewarding. Maybe I can help others in return for some help setting up some pretty fancy stuff. In addition I think CLUG should invite CUUG and any other sister groups to help share the work and the fun.
