| sagaci | head_victim, so at the install fest, did you repo work as intended? | 08:05 |
| head_victim | sagaci: yep appeared to | 09:31 |
| head_victim | The only issue was the livecd used archive.ubuntu.com and when you install it the installer sets the new pc up to point to au.archive.ubuntu.com | 09:32 |
| head_victim | So I didn't have the au.archive bit set up beforehand. | 09:32 |
| sagaci | head_victim: ah righteo then... I was thinking about doing a similar event in sydney, if I get a hold of a router and somehow block all connections except aarnet/pub/ubuntu or aarnet/pub, 4G download speed should suffice in one of the bigger public libraries, as long as electricity is available | 10:25 |
| head_victim | We just used a laptop as the DNS, DHCP, file & HTTP server. | 10:27 |
| head_victim | Then hooked up a switch and wireless access point. | 10:27 |
| head_victim | Did some dns magic and only connected a 400MB internet plan to it for "just in case". | 10:28 |
| head_victim | Basically most people have their own 3G and mobiles to use for actual data usage these days I found. | 10:28 |
| head_victim | That way we had a functioning CD Image mirror as well as archive mirror. | 10:29 |
| sagaci | yep, but being a 4G bigpond plan the aarnet mirror is unmetered, thus downloading is probably as quick/easy than setting up what you did | 10:30 |
| sagaci | and if it's aarnet/pub it could also extend to fedora, arch, etc | 10:30 |
| head_victim | True, you could just null route everything else. | 10:30 |
| sagaci | I mean if 50 people showed up, 4G won't go too far but I'm guessing that a handful that do show up don't have cool quotas/unmetered access.. | 10:31 |
| head_victim | Yep, I did it half as "I have no idea how many people are showing up" and half as "I need to learn some stuff" | 10:33 |
| sagaci | so what kind of leech speed were you getting | 10:37 |
| head_victim | I believe the network went as quick as the switch would allow, so 100mb. | 10:38 |
| head_victim | At home I was getting it as quick as the HDD would allow as I use gigabit network stuff here. | 10:38 |
| head_victim | Basically it meant the downloading of data was a blip, the actual install part was the only bit that took time. | 10:39 |
| head_victim | I gotta run, but feel free to leave some questions I can ask later if you were wondering how anything went. Basically it was fun to set up :) | 10:40 |
| head_victim | Let me know if you do organise something and I'll make sure you have some tablerunners or banners or something as well | 10:40 |
