Can't you get a booster for the WAP? I have used them at several locations with 
WAPs on the system. I would go with WPA2 for security. One  of the guys at 
Tuesday night's Cyber Defense meeting was showing everyone how to crack WEP 
security, it's not that hard.

Short and only answer, 2 problems: WEP and signal strength.

Ah, good point. It'll be best to get a local repository setup that I'll have to 
rsync locally. (via sneakernet)

First though, need to get the Internet working...

Don’t forget to update the VL 5.9 STD systems before final quality testing. 
We’ll need Internet for this unless we set up a mirror at the warehouse and 
keep the mirror updated with CDs or DVDs. It is no good to distribute unpatched 
systems.

all was a trackball serial mouse. "I don't care who you are, that's just

I guess it is a good thing I did show up with my copy of VL 5.9, since 
apparently the one copy that we had there at the warehouse was junk anyhow 
(kept coming up with "required vectorlinux.tlz is missing" or one of the 
required .tlz files were missing during install). 

I'll be happy to test those loaded systems Thursday night.

Present: Goose, Dan, Phil, Kelsey (Hopefully spelled right)

1) Mice... (Edited tee hee hee) Kelsey took mice balls from the serial mice and 
fixed PS/2 mice. We recovered approx. 15 of them that way. Thanks Kelsey!

2) VL 5.9 light AND STD???? What the????
   We have had two systems sitting side by side. One had VL 5.9 Light, the 
other VL 5.9 STD.

   I said, "This is just wrong man!"

   A command decision with all present was made. Were sending VL 5.9 STD out 
the door. It was a magnitude of order BETTER LOOKING then 5.9 light. I can just 
see the problems now in a future Freebox class, "Why doesn't my system look 
like that". Since were still working out the wicd issue on 6.0, VL 5.9 STD is 
the distro were using.

   That created a cd issue. We only had one VL 5.9 STD cd. (Phil came later w/ 
a 2nd one) I discovered the hard way the new server didn't already have cd 
burning software on it. I eventually got xfburner downloaded and installed. We 
still need to burn more cd's but we have the .iso image on the server and the 
first cd was burned last night. (Needs to be tested though)

3) We cleared another gaylord last night and got the next batch of computers 
into the work area. We need to find an attachment for the shop vac. Everyone 
agreed we have one someplace, just need to find it.

4) Chuq created an ebay gayload. It will see much use.

5) We have FOUR complete computers with VL 5.9 STD loaded on them. They need:
   1. Cleaning up
   2. VL Quality testing
   3. Physical quality testing (make sure enough ram mainly)

6) Internet: YES, we had Internet. That was the good news, bad news is we can't 
use that access point. So were still working to resolve the Internet issues.

7) For those wishing to take their frustrations out on computers <g> we have 
much demanufacturing to do.
   1. If it keeps piling up, it will be loaded and sent to ADEC for their use.
   2. I need to talk to ADEC directly so were on the same page.

8) Dan helped load systems along with Phil

9) Phil was organizing the shelving and labeling shelves <g>Yeah, go Phil!
   1. 24x cd-rom drives are headed for the yard sale, ebay. There are plenty of 
32x drives and up.

10) Worked on a little of all of the above, plus taking out some trash.

A really good productive night. Many thanks to all for a good effort.

Goose
