Re: Unofficial UbuntuGuide 5.04 Add-On CD Guide
very nice idea!
Thanks!
How much user interaction will it nead? and: are you using the java deb or install bin from sun?
Re: Unofficial UbuntuGuide 5.04 Add-On CD Guide
Great idea, can't wait to get my hands on this! I have (some) troubles downloading stuff from the Internet due to dodgy network proxies and firewalls. So this will be an ideal friend for my Ubuntu install...
Need any help putting it all together? I'll do what I can.
Re: Unofficial UbuntuGuide 5.04 Add-On CD Guide
I was actually trying to do this. I'm not on my computer with the bookmark but making a debian cd was way over my head to get apt-cdrom add to recognize it. So instead I just made a script with the .deb files and used dpkg -i...arggh. Anyway it works well if anyone wants to try it I'll put it here...I think it's around 85MB. I'll start another thread so .zip file doesn't get confused with the cd.
Yeah I could host it jiyuu0...currently have 4.5TB/month bandwidth on my site.
edit: ok now at computer How to make a custom debian cd is way over my head
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianCustomCD
not sure if one can do it with jidgo or not.

Re: Unofficial UbuntuGuide 5.04 Add-On CD Guide
When it's finished - why not go the full hogg and get the ubuntu developers to put the official stamp on it?? The Ubuntu Guide itself is absolutely amazing. I don't see why they'd object...

it would be great if you host it... :)
btw, if you have noticed, in the guide all the wget is pointing to this server http://www.myosc.org/ubuntuguide
and i think the bandwidth there is also going to burst...
can i put all the files at your server? can i have a ssh login to the folder so that i can easily update it if there's a new version
now... what the CD would do is
1) it will contain the cache folder of my hard disk (all apps from ubuntuguide)
2) the configure script will then
cp -fr /media/cdrom/packages/etc /
cp -fr /media/cdrom/packages/var /
*only the apt from etc and var
3) then there will be a modified version on ubuntuguide on desktop, where the instructions are the same... only no apt-get update and wget
by doing this, users should have no prob with broken dependencies as long they read it properly and don't apt-get update
