Techs in attendance Damien, Alan, Dennis ( Gareth passed through ).

Updated AVG on Dennis's PC

Installed NetBSD on one of the Sparcstation 4's ( username cafe, password cafe ,
root password 4shr4m ). If anybody wants to learn some unix there is a sparc
with NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org ) on it now.  

Did a Win98 install for a visitor.
Took a little while to diagnose the problem.  Initially it was thought to be
corrupt win98 install needing a file adding.  boot with ubuntu, and after
attempting to copy file over notice partion is NTFS.  further inquiry with
owner showed  it was a failed WinXP upgrade.  Fortunately had his backup copy
of win98 and hence we reinstalled.  Hunted drivers off net, left OK.


Easy now,
