They may be interested in doing a small piece about it, and they will certanly help in getting the croweds in. We do have to convince people to bring in their computers.
Also, since unlike all the previous installation parties I have seen to date, where the crowed was pre-linux aware, if we do this in Renanim we may get some crowds that will pop by just to see what Linux is (or maybe even just to buy shoes/shirts/food/CDs for juggling), how about setting a machine up as a desktop computer example? Put KDE3 and gnome2 (too frightening to non-geeks for my taste), Mozilla kmal etc., OpenOffice, wine and a few Linux games. Show the crowds why it's worth giving it a shot, if nothing else? Also, as this is the first installation party I am attending, how do you go about reducing the partitioned size of the existing disk? Anyone has a legal copy of PartitionMagic? Any open source alternatives?
