What happened:
- The IRC visitors watched the action live on popey_cam
HugoMills and AdrianBridgett fixed TimHenley's 2.4.24 booting problems (adding the initrd to lilo.conf helps) and sorting a problem with locales.
HugoMills compiled up endless kernels for RichardGellman's laptop – at under 4 minutes each.
TonyWhitmore and RichardMace chatted about blackbox and working environments in general.
TonyWhitmore compiled a 2.6.4 kernel for his laptop, less that 24 hours before 2.6.5 was released.
ThomasAdam helped Lisi setup a friend's machine running SuSE.
ThomasAdam sorted sound out for JohnLewis so he can learn French on his laptop.
ThomasAdam generally chatted to TonyWhitmore while tweaking some things on his laptop.
ThomasAdam helped TomBrazier setup appropriate symlinks for init so that 'networking' would run at the appropriate time.
JohnLewis got sound working on his laptop, as did RichardGellman.
DanPope worked on a new look and new stylesheets for the LUG web pages.
TomBragg with the help of AlanPope and TonyWhitmore fixed freevo, usb support (fixing the mouse and all other non-usb2 devices), card reader and usb storage on his PVR box.
AlanPope competed with HugoMills for "who can eat the most chocolate muffins at a meet". But who won.....?
CiemonDunville got loads of help from loads of people, and was very grateful
CiemonDunville tried in vain to get his USBstick to work, even with lots of help
CiemonDunville compiled his first kernel (2.6.4) even though lots of things don't work anymore
CiemonDunville managed to get apm to work, and his laptop now suspends instead of screaming when he shuts the lid
CiemonDunville soaked up lots of linux out of the ether and feels a lot more confident with it.
