I think this is my second post..... anyways
I searched and searched for a way to install the desktop gui on ubuntu server without having to download it each time,without any good results.
That being said...I did piece together some of my findings to come up with a solution ...I think.
after I installed ubuntu server off my cd, I logged in. After that I placed a ubuntu desktop cd in. typed in
sudo apt-cdrom addwhen that finished, I typed in
sudo taskselthat brought up a list of items to install as well as ones you had already installed for the server side of ubuntu, at any rate...I scrolled down and found ubuntu desktop,highlighted it,hit the space bar,hit enter, and waited.
I thought it was stuck or froze and was about to reset ... then it came up another screen
this screen says package configuration, and is currently retrieving files.
I thought this would take less time since it was coming off the cd....but right now it is connected to the internet downloading the package, instead of taking it from the cd
any ideas about what I missed :confused:
