I have nine slides (plus one blank slide for boot selection) for the
NetBSD class. They're done in Framemaker, in
/afs/sipb/project/iap/netbsd/slides/bsd.fm. I left a printed copy
next to granola, and a postscript version in
/afs/sipb/project/iap/netbsd/slides.ps.
The slides are intended to give a rough outline of the first day of
class, and to contain all of the information like file paths and FTP
sites that people wouldn't be able to remember. My idea is that we
can bring about 50 copies of the slides and the Getting Started
document (550 pages, or $16.50) on the first day; on each subsequent
day, if there's any information that needs to be remembered (I don't
think there is), we can bring copies of a page with all of that
material written down.
I suspect that the first day will go for the full time just due to the
material, and that the second day will go fairly long because of the
live demo. Wednesday and Thursday don't have all that much material,
and probably won't go as long.
I would like to get a pointer from John Kohl (or anyone who knows) to
Booteasy (I'll look through the discuss meeting to see if there is
one), since I want to demonstrate installing that on Tuesday, and I
need time to test it.
I'll be checking out 3-133 to see how easy it is to hook up the
machine and whether the slides are visible on the projection screen
(for the record, 1-390 has a really high-quality projection screen).
Otherwise, we can get transparencies and an overhead. We'll be doing
the actual installation in 6-120; the projection screen there is
(barely) readable enough to read text on an 80x25 console, although
it's not great.
