[02:27] <fisch246> i'll be providing an alternate cd iso for the party if people don't wish to use WiFi
[02:57] <tonyyarusso> Why not all of them?
[03:03] <fisch246> hm?
[03:03] <fisch246> o i see what you mean
[03:03] <fisch246> someone is providing the actually install from scratch images
[03:04] <fisch246> i'm providing the upgrade from 10.10 iso
[03:05] <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.)
[03:06] <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
[03:07] <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.
[03:08] <tonyyarusso> s/are/and/
[03:08] <fisch246> does the Kubuntu, and Xubuntu come with CDRomUpgrade?
[03:09] <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.
[03:10] <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.
[03:11] <fisch246> 2?
[03:12] <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.
[03:13] <fisch246> do you know the total size of all of those will be?
[03:14] <fisch246> roughly
[03:14] <fisch246> cause i plan to have all the images on my flash drive
[03:15] <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
[03:16] <tonyyarusso> Just pick up one of these - plenty of room!  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139147
[03:17] <fisch246> yea um... no...
[03:17] <tonyyarusso> :P
[03:17] <fisch246> i would prefer paying like 5-10 bucks
[03:18] <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
[03:19] <tonyyarusso> Also, 4GB for $8.  Crazy.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139255
[03:21] <fisch246> hm that one's nice
[03:33] <ColinHarrington> That is awesome $749 for a 256GB thumb drive!
[03:34] <ColinHarrington> SSD on a stick
[03:34] <ColinHarrington> But not anywhere near as fast
[03:35] <ColinHarrington> What kinds of read/write speed do folks get off their USB thumb drives?
[03:38] <tonyyarusso> The varies WIDELY by drive and interface type.
[03:53] <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
[18:10] <Takyoji> Ooo, just found tclug.org listed on sixy.ch
