Re: [Debconf-team] Getting the network running



If cables need to be purchased, I just bought a few from:
http://www.cabling-supplies.com/ethernet-patch-cables.html
Very happy with the quality and price (and easy open bags.

Also I can bring cat5 cables of various lengths.   but please give me an estimate of how many and what length you need - I don't want to count/coil/ship/etc more than I need to.

There is nothing in the DC14 budget for equipment rental.  The budget, which
was based on the published DC13 budget, allowed for a small expenditure
related to equipment shipping, but no one saw fit to mention that rental of
network equipment might be a requirement.

Really?  If this is the case, why does no information about this appear in
git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debconf-data/dc13.git accounting/budget.ods ?
