This is a feel good post, I know that some are having issues, but wanted to share a good install.
I wanted to try intrepid prior to removing hardy (Since I have it working great now), so I followed some threads here about setting up 8.10 on a 4GB flash. I am here to say that I will from now on only use this method prior to installing and testing new releases.
I have successfully created a fully functional intrepid release on 4GB of flash. I am amazed that I have my HTPC fully operational as well as the Trendnet 424UB (56Mbps usb wireless) and Turtle Beach sound card using spidf optical running 8.10.
Why am I amazed, well it took quite a while with hardy to get everything working, new drivers, modified scripts and SW patches to get everything working. With Intrepid the only thing I needed to add manually was Envyng for support of my Evga Geforce 6200 AGP 8X video card with the 177.xx driver. (Prior driver using Hardy was 174.xx)
I would not have even tried Intrepid, since Hardy is working great for me now, but upgrading HW to the new Intel G45 chip set with Integrated HD (X4500) video and wanted a base system for testing. I now have a working Intrepid release on Flash and now I can start my new HW project.
I am typing this not on my HTPC (I do not want to fire up my projector) but in my hone office where I put the newly created flash in a USB port and booted from it. To my amazement, it fully loaded (recognized new Intel chipset ICH5, video, etc) and the only error was that my graphic display changed (From the default Nvidia to ATI) and went into low graphics mode, which is perfect on my 15" LCD 1024X768 display. I even plugged in the Trendnet wireless usb adapter and unplugged the Ethernet cable for testing and wireless came up and took over the connection.
I am a happy camper. :guitar: Rock on Ubuntu.
Now moving on to my new HW project and reviewing posts of the new Intel chipset, seems as if all the bugs are worked out with the latest updates for an Intel DG45ID MB. Thank you Beta testers. :popcorn:
Thanks to all who provided guidance to complete a fresh install of Intrepid to a 4GB flash card.
