Nice job!Originally Posted by jiyuu0
Thanks
I was doing this on my pen drive for quick live cd installs.
torrent is the solution
I have been trying to find a tracker
I think most of us would be glad to leave a torrent running
I try to share someone's torrent every night, unused bandwidth
why not see if you can post it here
http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/
google search inurl:"6969" upload
any way good work thanks alot
I think the bigest issue for most people is embedded media in firefox i would like to see totem play all
mplayer bad
i would love to host it for you but I olny have 8 gigs a month on my site

I was watching attack of the show (formerly the screensavers) on g4tv and kevin rose showed how easy it's to create a decentralized torrent with azureus 2.3.0. However, it'll only work for those who have that version. But basically if the original seeded disappears it'll still work. Plus it's anonymous not that it matters for linux .iso images and such.
The CD sounds excellent, but why is i686 required ?
rcs@eagle:~$ sudo sh /media/cdrom0/install.sh
Password: xxxxxxxxxx
...
Install Unofficial Ubuntu 5.04 Add-On CD? [y/n]
y
Error! Execute this script on Ubuntu 5.04 x86!
Installation aborted!
rcs@eagle:~$ uname -a
Linux eagle 2.6.10-5-386 #1 Tue Apr 5 12:12:40 UTC 2005 i586 GNU/Linux
rcs@eagle:~$
install.sh:
if [ `uname -m` != "i686" ]; then
echo ""
echo "Error! Execute this script on Ubuntu 5.04 x86!"
Does it really have to be i686 ?!
nope... i thought all x86 is i686
so there
i686
i586
is there i486 and i386? the cd will work only for x86
will correct on next release
uploading new version... should be ready tomorrow (if my internet don't disconnect)
snapshots: 2005-05-08
contains all the offline cache used by ubuntuguide v 1.63
yes... 1 month from the day ubuntu 5.04 released
i'll try to make updates once a month on the 8th.
first of all, thanks for your guide. Now some (constructive, i think) hints to improve it:
transcode and gstreamer0.8-lame are not in your add-on cd, so using them will fail installation of dvd::rip and goobox, respectively
even if w32codecs are installed, only xine works in playing divx and xvid movies (tried realplayer, mplayer and totem with no success...)
if you do not apply the trick in your guide for "How to configure sound to work properly in GNOME", after installing realplayer its window does not appear, till you kill esd...
audacity, with or without the previous trick, complains about not be able to play sounds: infact in: file, preferences, the reproduction and registration device selection boxes are emtpy (gnome sounds instead are working...)
ubm_1.2.5-0ubuntu1_all.deb is missing in the cd
please add if you can a program to watch tv via bttv (xawtv or other more "beautiful")
please add some links in every section about a firefox plugin, to test them (flash, java, pdf, etc)
