Mono ditched in Ubuntu 12.04

[thenixedreport]

Why couldn't they just work on improving the compression used for the live environment instead? While CD-R's above 700 MB work, from what I gathered, they require overburn and are not guaranteed to work.

yeay its really "hefty", its pretty much the same as python:

apt-get install mono-runtime
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libmono-corlib4.0-cil libmono-security4.0-cil libmono-system-configuration4.0-cil
  libmono-system-security4.0-cil libmono-system-xml4.0-cil libmono-system4.0-cil mono-4.0-gac
  mono-gac mono-runtime
Need to get 3957 kB of archives.
After this operation, 11.5 MB of additional disk space will be used.

maybe 10mb for all extras you need for banshee + tomboy + gbrainy

I don't really get this descision, how has rhythmbox improved since it was removed?
its still as unmaintained as ever to my knowledge.

From what this link is saying, it actually is.

The news certainly excited Roy Schestowitz.
He's already claiming victory.

This marks a victory of sorts to a push we’ve put a lot of effort into, along with Boycott Novell. A lot of personal compromise was involved as I was on the receiving end of persistent bullying and smears. Thanks to all those who help share information about the problems with Mono. GNU/Linux is a lot safer (and better) now.

Unfortunately, there were people calling that guy names which didn't help their position any.

I thought an 80 minute cd only held 700mb?

There goes a waste of a dvd Guess I'll be putting it on a usb drive instead.

DVD rw

UDS shortlist for precise.

DVD rw

I did not think of that! Good idea.

My problem with these is I keep losing them... They do the job, however.

That's true. I probably have a dozen or so Ubuntu cds since I put them down somewhere and then they are not there when I need them.

It's much easier to burn an ISO file than wait for something like UNetBootin to be updated (is it even in development anymore?).

Tip: $dd if=ubantolunix.iso of=/dev/usbdrive works now.

Maybe we could format the DVDs with partitions so that you have the iso at the front of the disc and some other stuff using the rest of the space...

You'd still have about 3700MiB to fill on a single-layer, so maybe just a bunch of deb files you could copy in the /var/cache/apt/archive after you install. Or music/videos/whatever.
