Jason,
 I should be able to bring one or two PCMCIA NICs as well. Also, the Airport
will be there and functioning so if we can get the wireless NIC's to work
via kickstart, that would help as well.

jay,

you can get everything you need at the installfest.  i'll have CDs for
redhat,
mandrake, and possibly suse.  i may not have time to burn update CDs ahead
of
time but we can probably do that onsite.  and bring your laptop - we can do
a
NFS install right over the network (i'll bring my spare intel pcmcia nic).
and making install diskettes is a snap (but bring a few diskettes with you,
i
don't think i have any spares).
