| [1]DogOfWar | Hello, and HELP! I have an older system the HD is wiped and it only has a CD drive. I have DL'd the iso for 12.10 but it will not fit on a CD! What do I do? | 23:07 |
| geirha | hum. It's designed to fit on a CD ... what's the exact size of the iso? and if possible, what's the md5sum of it | 23:15 |
| [1]DogOfWar | No the latest ver is designed to fit a DVD! | 23:16 |
| geirha | there are dvd images as well, yes | 23:16 |
| [1]DogOfWar | The only iso I can find and dl from Ubuntu is for DVD.... | 23:17 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Can I stick a DVD drive on this system and get it to work or will the firmware need to be upgraded for that? | 23:18 |
| geirha | Hm. Did they increase the size? If so, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware | 23:19 |
| [1]DogOfWar | 771,372 KB is the size... | 23:21 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Just a little over the size of a CD... dammit. | 23:21 |
| geirha | Hm. Try 12.04 | 23:22 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Had not thought of that! I'll give it a look...thnx! | 23:23 |
| geirha | It's not bleeding edge, but new enough, and it's LTS (long term support), so you don't have to upgrade until 2-3 years | 23:23 |
| geirha | There's a new release every 6 months (april and october). To upgrade from one release to another, you have to upgrade to each intermediate release | 23:25 |
| geirha | However, every fourth release is an LTS releases, and you can upgrade from one LTS release to the next LTS release, skipping three upgrades | 23:26 |
| [1]DogOfWar | It's 695MB so should work! Thanks so much for the help! I'm fine with that, I got a dual proc 2.88ghz workstation with a dual vid display card for $15! I just want to make it work! | 23:27 |
| geirha | 6.06 Dapper Drake (that one was delayed by two months, coming out in june instead of april), 8.04 Hardy Heron, 10.04 Lucid Lynx and 12.04 Precise Pangolin are LTS releases | 23:28 |
| [1]DogOfWar | I have fiddled around with Linux b4 but this will be my first "bath" so to speak! | 23:29 |
| geirha | Next one will be 14.04 T... T... (the name gets decided shortly before 13.10 gets released, but it will be an adjective and animal starting with Ts) | 23:31 |
| [1]DogOfWar | I bought an Ubuntu book with a DVD that was 10.04 but of course that would not work either! | 23:32 |
| geirha | What happened? | 23:32 |
| [1]DogOfWar | DVD on a CD drive.... | 23:33 |
| geirha | Ah, hehe | 23:33 |
| geirha | Have you tried usb though? | 23:33 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Should have bought an older book..Haha.. | 23:33 |
| [1]DogOfWar | This old pc will not boot from a USB I think...have not tried though! | 23:34 |
| geirha | While it's old, it doesn't sounds like it predates the boot-from-USB era. You might have to enter the bios to get it to boot usb though | 23:35 |
| [1]DogOfWar | I just booted it up to check the bios now... | 23:36 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Nope...only choices are CD, IDE, and HD! | 23:39 |
| geirha | With my BIOS, it will only give the option of booting from USB if a USB drive is connected | 23:39 |
| geirha | s/my BIOS/the BIOS on this laptop/ | 23:41 |
| [1]DogOfWar | I'll look into it furthur but the cd is burning as we speak so I am a happy camper...so far! | 23:42 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Ok...now I'm not happy again. The file just copied to the disk as an iso insteadt of being burned as an image? | 23:46 |
| geirha | Hm. What OS are you burning it in? And with what program? | 23:47 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Vista Home Premium...I have a "BURN" button on the toolbar... | 23:49 |
| [1]DogOfWar | Obviously that does not understand iso files... | 23:49 |
| geirha | Pre Windows 7 couldn't burn ISOs out of the box | 23:50 |
| geirha | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/burn-a-dvd-on-windows | 23:51 |
| geirha | It says DVD, but the procedure should be exactly the same for CD, as long as the iso fits on a CD | 23:52 |
| [1]DogOfWar | I'm already Dl'ing IfraRecorder... | 23:55 |
| [1]DogOfWar | INstalled... | 23:56 |
