For one machine, you're probably better just using the ximian installer? or is that
red carpet now.

at a later date you can look into rolling it out properly.

though, it seems to me that you've been given crap hardware to demo on, and
it sounds very like a "Oh look, I knew linux wouldn't do it, let's just stick
with Windows" type of proposition.

ML don't have any spare machines of a PII-400 spec? Bolsh was saying his
machine took of the order of minutes to load OpenOffice IIRC, and his
was around that spec.
