Well, like I wrote:  that is better, in my opinion, than Fedora where the user is left to figure it out on his/her own.

Sounds good.  For this presentation, I think audience will be key as we all learn from each other on the various distributions we all use and their particulars.

I'll bring a laptop with Windows 10 already on it and we can boot it off of your Ubuntu USB thumbdrive.  I'll use the Fedora ISO on my Windows 10 virtual machine.

I would not strain yourself doing that.  I think between my virtual machine and my laptop we will have enough to show how the GNU/Linux operating systems get installed.

Acknowledged.

I was not planning on it as I am not familiar with it.  I welcome you bringing a Chrome Flex machine to show.

That is a good idea, David.  I recently posted the recording of our August meeting to that meeting's web page as a comment, below the posting:

  https://www.cinlug.org/2025/07/27/august-2025-cinlug-meeting-bootc-who-put-a-kernel-in-my-container/

I can certainly do the same for this meeting, and then send notes out via the mailing list, Meetup.com and Twitter so people know about it.


Thanks again for your help with this!
