[14:14] <anonxartos> so tell me which packages i need to instal to get safety
[23:07] <[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?
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <[1]DogOfWar> No the latest ver is designed to fit a DVD!
[23:16] <geirha> there are dvd images as well, yes
[23:17] <[1]DogOfWar> The only iso I can find and dl from Ubuntu is for DVD....
[23:18] <[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?
[23:19] <geirha> Hm. Did they increase the size? If so, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware
[23:21] <[1]DogOfWar> 771,372 KB is the size...
[23:21] <[1]DogOfWar> Just a little over the size of a CD... dammit.
[23:22] <geirha> Hm. Try 12.04
[23:23] <[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
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <[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!
[23:28] <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
[23:29] <[1]DogOfWar> I have fiddled around with Linux b4 but this will be my first "bath" so to speak!
[23:31] <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)
[23:32] <[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?
[23:33] <[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..
[23:34] <[1]DogOfWar> This old pc will not boot from a USB I think...have not tried though!
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <[1]DogOfWar> I just booted it up to check the bios now...
[23:39] <[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
[23:41] <geirha> s/my BIOS/the BIOS on this laptop/
[23:42] <[1]DogOfWar> I'll look into it furthur but the cd is burning as we speak so I am a happy camper...so far!
[23:46] <[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?
[23:47] <geirha> Hm. What OS are you burning it in? And with what program?
[23:49] <[1]DogOfWar> Vista Home Premium...I have a "BURN" button on the toolbar...
[23:49] <[1]DogOfWar> Obviously that does not understand iso files...
[23:50] <geirha> Pre Windows 7 couldn't burn ISOs out of the box
[23:51] <geirha> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/burn-a-dvd-on-windows
[23:52] <geirha> It says DVD, but the procedure should be exactly the same for CD, as long as the iso fits on a CD
[23:55] <[1]DogOfWar> I'm already Dl'ing IfraRecorder...
[23:56] <[1]DogOfWar> INstalled...
