Yesterday (Thursday 11th November 2004), Manal, Alaa, Ezabi, MohammedSameer and DJ-King's laptop arrived @ Mansheyet Nasr @ 9 p.m after getting lost on the "autostraud" looking for a u-turn.
First, Ezabi and Manal were setting up the network, (Ezabi did the major part of course) while Alaa and MohammedSameer were installing GNU/Linux on one of the pcs in preparation of a network install.
We began the network install after midnight and we fought hard against cdroms, floppies and floppy drives, mouses and keyboards. We succeeded in installing Mandrake 10.1 on 9 out of the 12 pcs.
We were done with the installation around 4 a.m, and we spent 3 more hours installing arabic fonts and some extra packages, showing GNU/Linux to Nasha2t and Mohammed of the CDA and closing the ducts and wrapping the cables.
