Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED],
I suggest you bring a copy of Debian ftp archive in the laptop or hard disk drive and put it in the LAN as the central installation source. It's about 8.4 GB total. I think the InstallFest may need a ftp archive in the LAN for faster installation. If you put one in the LAN, then everyone can modify their /etc/apt/sources.list like # Taiwan Debian Installfest deb ftp://domain.or.ip stable main contrib non-free deb ftp://domain.or.ip testing main contrib non-free deb ftp://domain.or.ip/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://domain.or.ip/debian-security stable/updates main contrib non-free The advantage is that everyone can install latest pacages from the same installation source.
