| fisch246 | i'll be providing an alternate cd iso for the party if people don't wish to use WiFi | 02:27 |
|---|---|---|
| tonyyarusso | Why not all of them? | 02:57 |
| fisch246 | hm? | 03:03 |
| fisch246 | o i see what you mean | 03:03 |
| fisch246 | someone is providing the actually install from scratch images | 03:03 |
| fisch246 | i'm providing the upgrade from 10.10 iso | 03:04 |
| tonyyarusso | um, what? That didn't really answer the question... | 03:05 |
| tonyyarusso | There are many ISOs - why not have all of them? | 03:05 |
| fisch246 | cause someone else is :P | 03:05 |
| fisch246 | however he wasn't providing the upgrade iso image | 03:05 |
| tonyyarusso | (Ubuntu Alternate i386, Kubuntu Desktop amd64, Ubuntu Server i386, etc.) | 03:05 |
| tonyyarusso | There is no single upgrade ISO image. | 03:06 |
| fisch246 | ah you're misunderstanding what i mean | 03:06 |
| fisch246 | you use the alternate cd to upgrade | 03:06 |
| fisch246 | no matter what system you're on | 03:06 |
| fisch246 | er version of ubuntu you're on i mean | 03:07 |
| tonyyarusso | There is no such thing as "the alternate CD". | 03:07 |
| tonyyarusso | and, um, no. | 03:07 |
| fisch246 | i've used it before | 03:07 |
| fisch246 | just run "cdromupgrade" | 03:07 |
| tonyyarusso | You need different disks for different architectures are DEs, always. | 03:07 |
| tonyyarusso | s/are/and/ | 03:08 |
| fisch246 | does the Kubuntu, and Xubuntu come with CDRomUpgrade? | 03:08 |
| tonyyarusso | Sure - upgrade commands are pretty low-level. | 03:09 |
| fisch246 | ah ok | 03:09 |
| tonyyarusso | Do you know what package provides it? | 03:09 |
| fisch246 | well i bring those 2 as well | 03:09 |
| fisch246 | then | 03:09 |
| tonyyarusso | 4, you mean. | 03:09 |
| fisch246 | well the alternate to upgrade the standard version... then the Kubuntu, and Xubuntu | 03:10 |
| fisch246 | don't need the server... as i doubt people will have server on them | 03:10 |
| tonyyarusso | You need two for each DE - one for each architecture. | 03:10 |
| fisch246 | 2? | 03:11 |
| tonyyarusso | So, the full list of text-based install/upgrade CDs is 8 images long, as follows: | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Ubuntu Alternate i386 | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Ubuntu Alternate amd64 | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Kubuntu Alternate i386 | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Kubuntu Alternate amd64 | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Xubuntu Alternate i386 | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Xubuntu Alternate amd64 | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Ubuntu Server i386 | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Ubuntu Server amd64 | 03:12 |
| fisch246 | o right | 03:12 |
| tonyyarusso | Then there are 6 GUI disks, replacing "Alternate" with "Desktop" in the first 6 above. | 03:12 |
| fisch246 | do you know the total size of all of those will be? | 03:13 |
| fisch246 | roughly | 03:14 |
| fisch246 | cause i plan to have all the images on my flash drive | 03:14 |
| tonyyarusso | about 650-700MB each, so you're looking at a maximum of 9.8GB for all 14. | 03:15 |
| fisch246 | while a guest whom is coming will be bringing boot able flash drives | 03:15 |
| * tonyyarusso has a pile of CD-Rs also | 03:15 | |
| fisch246 | mmk | 03:15 |
| tonyyarusso | Just pick up one of these - plenty of room! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139147 | 03:16 |
| fisch246 | yea um... no... | 03:17 |
| tonyyarusso | :P | 03:17 |
| fisch246 | i would prefer paying like 5-10 bucks | 03:17 |
| tonyyarusso | You can however get a 32GB stick for the same price I paid for my first 128MB one back in the day. | 03:18 |
| fisch246 | but yea i have an 8GB flash drive | 03:18 |
| tonyyarusso | Also, 4GB for $8. Crazy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139255 | 03:19 |
| fisch246 | hm that one's nice | 03:21 |
| ColinHarrington | That is awesome $749 for a 256GB thumb drive! | 03:33 |
| ColinHarrington | SSD on a stick | 03:34 |
| ColinHarrington | But not anywhere near as fast | 03:34 |
| ColinHarrington | What kinds of read/write speed do folks get off their USB thumb drives? | 03:35 |
| tonyyarusso | The varies WIDELY by drive and interface type. | 03:38 |
| fisch246 | alright i ordered another 8GB :D | 03:53 |
| fisch246 | if anything i'll use my 2Gb if it doesn't get here on time | 03:53 |
| fisch246 | for over flow | 03:53 |
| fisch246 | just i'm using my 2GB right now | 03:53 |
| Takyoji | Ooo, just found tclug.org listed on sixy.ch | 18:10 |
