Wesley Werner
Hope all is good. Keeping it short and sweet, and straight to the meat!
== News ==
* The study material info lives at http://linux-studies.za.net/

* Use the ML (mailing list) for questions
== Task ==
Task: For the next week or two we are using the PDF manual as
Reference to setup a running system.
Focus: Familiarize the given tools, fdisk, mkfs and the installer's
partition assigning.
* Decide on your own partition layout. Use the tools mentioned (fdisk,
mkfs etc) to action your layout.
* Leave unused space, enough to add another partition at a later time.
* Install a OS using your partitions
