[03:15] <Ken3191> Hello I am new to Edubuntu and to IRC I got the CD from Cannonical Vr 6.06.1 LTS I have tried to install it as a stand alone workstation. I checked the integrity of the CD but I get an error message [!!]  Load installer components from CD - there was a problem reading data from CD please make sure it is in the drive. If retrying doesn't work check the integirty of the CD-Rom. Failed to copy...
[03:15] <Ken3191> ...files from CD-Rom can anybody make a suggestion? the integrity test showed the cd to be correct?
[03:16] <kgoetz> did the cd pass the error integrity check or not? i'm not sure from waht you said
[03:17] <Ken3191> yes it did pass sorry but i was not clear
[03:17] <kgoetz> how old is this system?
[03:19] <Ken3191> pentium 4 2.66ghz 512 cache 512 ddr ram
[03:19] <Ken3191> 16 x cd drive
[03:19] <kgoetz> oh, new.

[03:19] <kgoetz> hmm..... do you have a newer cd drive?

[06:48] <cbx33> hey LaserJock
[06:49] <nixternal> hiya cbx33
[06:49] <cbx33> hi nixternal
[06:49] <nixternal> is Feisty out yet? I can't take no more :)  LaserJock is working me into the ground
[06:50] <nixternal> I CAN'T take NO more == I can take more, darn double negatives
[06:50] <LaserJock> hi cbx33
[06:50] <LaserJock> what?!
[06:50] <cbx33> heheh
[06:55] <nixternal> why is it that every Python book I get isn't for newbs? I keep buying the wrong ones, have the Programming PYthon 3e (twice the size of my Bible) and Python in a Nutshell.
[06:56] <nixternal> oh ya, this looks like the wrong channel
[06:56] <nixternal> disregard that
[06:57] <LaserJock> nixternal: no worries, we pretty much have a /ignore nixternal
[06:57] <nixternal> figures
[06:58] <nixternal> well at least I know you don't have me ignored ;p
[06:58] <cbx33> nixternal, I have an excellent python book
[06:58] <cbx33> assumes a little programming knowledge but not much
[06:58] <nixternal> hahahaha
[06:59] <cbx33> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-Python-Programmer-P-C-Norton/dp/0764596543/ref=pd_ka_2/202-5180218-8451838?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173247134&sr=8-2
[06:59] <nixternal> heh, I got a great C++ book, text book for my college courses
[06:59] <LaserJock> hmm, usually read the books but get nowhere
[07:00] <nixternal> mine is a newb c++ book
[07:00] <LaserJock> except there was one Python book for Computational Sciences that was good
[07:00] <LaserJock> actually had practical stuff
[07:00] <cbx33> http://www.pastebin.ca/384632 - 3 days of me coding in c++
[07:02] <nixternal> alrighty, just bought that book, thanks for the pointer
[07:02] <nixternal> gl lovin' I see
[07:02] <cbx33> well it will be
[07:02] <cbx33> notice there is actually glnothing at the moment
[07:04] <nixternal> lol
[07:05] <LaserJock> it'd probably be 7:00 if it was Python, eh?
[07:05] <HedgeMage> hi, all
[07:05] <LaserJock> HedgeMage!
[07:05] <LaserJock> highvoltage!
[07:05] <highvoltage> hi HedgeMage and other edubuntero's (and edubuntorita's)
[07:05] <HedgeMage> hi LaserJock
[07:05] <HedgeMage> hi highvoltage
[07:06] <cbx33> hey HedgeMage highvoltage
[07:06] <cbx33> h+h
[07:06] <cbx33> hehe
[07:06] <highvoltage> hey hey hey!!!
[07:06] <cbx33> c++ is looking up ;)
[07:06] <HedgeMage> hi cbx33
[07:06] <cbx33> file loader function completed
[07:06] <HedgeMage> how've you all been?
[07:06] <cbx33> that's all external functions I believe
[07:06] <edubuntugirl> FANTASTIC!
[07:06] <cbx33> now just the c++ guts
[07:07] <LaserJock> busy!
[07:08] <highvoltage> Saturday night I had lots and lots of ideas for edubuntu. I hate myself for not writing them down, I can't remember any of it :-(
[07:08] <HedgeMage> aww
[07:08] <highvoltage> ouch
[07:09] <nixternal> got that Python book, and the Qt4 for C++ design book by Bruce Perens
[07:10] <cbx33> cool
[07:10] <cbx33> that book touchs on gtk
[07:10] <cbx33> and loads of other cool stuff
[07:10] <nixternal> there is a new Qt4 book coming out in April, I should preorder it now
[07:10] <nixternal> that Python book was cheap actually
[07:10] <nixternal> I think like $13USD
[07:11] <cbx33> yeh
[07:11] <cbx33> really good quality
[07:11] <cbx33> well
[07:11] <cbx33> though I havn't had time to finish it
[07:11] <nixternal> I got a free book from amazon a couple of months ago, I have been meaning to sell it as I don't have any use for it
[07:11] <nixternal> Security+ Guide to Windows Network Security
[07:12] <nixternal> lol
[07:12] <nixternal> it was like $100 book when I got it, but I think it has dropped in price big time
[07:12] <highvoltage> ah, fiction.
[07:13] <nixternal> haha
[07:13] <nixternal> 49.00 on amazon
[07:13] <nixternal> I can put it for 40, it has a rippled spine, it will be gone in a few days
[07:14] <highvoltage> cool. how does that work, do they collect it from you, or do you have to drop it off somewhere?
[07:17] <nixternal> alrighty, on amazon for sale :)
[07:17] <nixternal> for standard shipping they will give me like $3.50
[07:17] <nixternal> I will goto the post office and do a media mail post for about that same price
[07:17] <highvoltage> ah
[07:17] <highvoltage> do you send it directly to the buyer then?
[07:18] <nixternal> yes
[07:34] <fheiss> Hi.. I'm downloading 6.10 for my wife's 4th grade classroom right now -- it looks great.  I'm wondering what the system reqs are.  The classroom computers only have 64MB RAM.
[07:34] <fheiss> and I think the HDDs are 6GB
[01:06] <cbx33> meeting
[01:06] <cbx33> whoops i said it in the wrong channel
