Can I connect my notebook or some other computer I manage myself to the DESY Zeuthen network?
Yes. There are two classes: Guest systems with limited access to the internal network, and Trusted devices with full access. The latter require some paperwork to be signed by a responsible. For details, please see NoteBook_Registration.
Can I borrow Linux installation CDs from uco?
Usually no. You'll find sets of ISO images for SL (and maybe some other distributions) in /project/linux/iso, and there are public CD writers available in the terminal/printer room 2L01. As an exception for SL5 32bit UCO (Simone, 1R/21) does have installation DVD's.
See the next question for a more convenient and faster method.
Can I do a Linux network installation from a local server?
Yes. The available installation repositories are listed in Local_Linux_Repositories. Just follow the link in the first column. The advantage of this method is that only the very small boot.iso needs to be written to a CD. You find this image in the repository, in the subdirectory images. Boot this CD and tell the installer you want to do an http installation. The installation location is the URL behind the link you followed above.
Can I borrow a CD with a CERNLIB package for my favourite Linux distribution from uco?
No. There are RPM packages for the distributions in use at CERN available from http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/ (decide which one is most similar to yours, and check under updates and/or os in the browsable package repositories).
