Well, I, for one, will be lugging around a laptop that my current work
assignment has given me.  I recently noticed a 500MB partition that wasn't
being used, and decided to give FreeBSD a whirl (it's so weird not having
an inittab!).  Anyway, I could use two things that are installfest
related.  First, I would like to see if I can get anyone to press me a
FreeBSD 4.0 cd.  (I'll reimburse CD-R's, blue verbatims IIRC.)  Second,
I'd like it if anyone more familiar with FreeBSD than myself would be kind
enough to walk me through an installation where we pare down the system to
what I want (ran out of space the first time, which isn't hard with
500MB).

I'll likely be there in the beginning to middle afternoon.  If someone
would be nice enough to help me, please let me know so that I can
coordinate my schedule with you!

Thanks,
