[ale] December ALE NW meeting announcement

[Geoffrey]

Date: December 16, 2004
Time: 8:00 PM
Location: Clendenin Building
Room: CL 1007

Presenter: Geoffrey Myers

Presentation: Creating a multiboot system with grub.

Geof Myers will take a perfectly useless laptop running
Windows XP home and install up to three separate Linux
distributions along side the existing pseudo-OS.  We will
start with Mandrake 10.1 Official, then Sun Java Desktop
Release 2 or SuSE 9.2, depending on the outcome of attendee
voting.  If we have time, we will then install the third OS
or demonstrate various ways to address necessary
modifications to the boot loader, again based on attendee
preferences.

Interesting issues discussed will include modifying the
boot loader menu, using chroot to assist with fixing a
trashed loader and various solutions for changing the boot
loader so it will boot the new operating systems.
