For IA and IB students who wish to construct a PC running Windows from scratch:

• putting the hardware together
• partitioning a disk
• installing the O/S
• installing any special drivers needed
• setting up network interfaces
• installing basic mail and browser software

The Linux O/S is available to more advanced software users. Sessions for this activity take place in the Electrical and Information Engineering Teaching Lab (EIETL) and will last from 9 am to 1 pm (possibly continuing into the afternoon if necessary). Sessions have been scheduled on:

• Friday 4 December 2015
• Monday 11 January 2016

12 students can be accommodated at each session, and you should book on the booking sheets which will be posted in the EIETL on Thursday 12 November 2015. Further sessions for the activity may be organised later in the year.

If you book a session and then find you are unable to come, please inform Prof. Wilkinson (tel. 339709) at the earliest opportunity.
