From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  installfest [Linux community since c.1998] Common portmanteau word for
     "installation festival"; Linux user groups frequently run these.
     Computer users are invited to bring their machines to have Linux
     installed on their machines. The idea is to get them painlessly over the
     biggest hump in migrating to Linux, which is initially installing and
     configuring it for the user's machine.
