well, I was there too, and for the most part I agree with what you said -

I don't really think that this is necesary, but name tags, or just some
tags with 'Installer' written on them for the installers will be nice.

That is true, but from what I've saw (and I didn't look around a lot, I
had troubles of my own to take care of), it was much less of a problem
then they way you put it. I don't see how they can check all the CDs,
which, if these are trully defective, is much greater problem then the
floppys for obviuos reasons.

^^^^^^^ well - her....
she turned out to be quite a nice girl, and I must mention that the sound
level was way down, comparing to the last party. if they'd turned it down
just a **little** bit more it would have been perfect.

well, I don't think that the people I installed linux for will think that
;-) (three installations in 5 hours...) but I always leave text files on
their desktops, home dirs, what ever with things that they should look up,
fix, change, add, and locations where they can find help - and ofcourse my
contacting information. from responses I got, none of them have that kind
of attitutde.
