Kilossorry to worry you superfly . i wanna copy all the packages on the 20g drive to my external so i can install on the 80g without having to download. is this command correct or must there be more / and a * 05:25
Kilos cp /var/cache/apt/archives /media/storage/Packs05:25
superflythat'll copy the archives directory itself to /media/storage/Packs05:26
superflyyou might want to rather do this05:26

Kilosi am trying to register at remastersys but the security is weird06:20
Kilosone of the questions is how many legs does a $!x legged horse have06:20
superflyKilos: what are you trying to do? (i.e. why are you registering at remastersys)06:28
Kilosi want to ask their forums if and how to use it to a flash disk or externalm because a cd only takes 700m and mine 789m superfly 06:29

Kilosremastersys is supposed to make a cd of your exact system superfly  so that means no downloads06:30
superflyKilos: yes, but does it make an ISO?06:31
Kilosyes it makes an iso too06:31

drubinDoes ubuntu alert you when it is end of life?15:41
drubinis there a popup going this distro is NO longer supported please upgrade like now.15:42
superflydrubin: not as far as I know15:50
drubinthat is silly15:54
drubinjust had a guy ask questions about intepid15:54
drubinhe didn't know it was end of life ;/15:54
drubinbut I guess even if there was a notification they wouldn't upgrade. If they didn't upgrade the security fixes or any thing15:55
highvoltagedrubin: update manager does warn in newer versions, but I don't think it was in intrepid yet16:17
drubinhighvoltage: Thanks :)16:43
