[21:02] <Noskcaj> why has the lubuntu ppc daily not been updated for 4 days?
[21:51] <infinity> Noskcaj: Hrm, looks like the CD building scripts are having a sad about kernels.
[21:52] <Noskcaj> infinity, ok?
[21:58] <Noskcaj> one other question: why not make a semi-netboot  version of ubuntu so it can still fit on a cd? e.g. downloads the extra ~300mb the the currect iso has
[21:58] <infinity> "Semi-netboot"?
[21:58] <Noskcaj> one other question: why not make a semi-netboot  version of ubuntu so it can still fit on a cd? e.g. downloads the extra ~300mb the the currect iso has
[21:58] <infinity> What's wrong with the actual netboot?
[21:59] <Noskcaj> infinity, what should i be refring to the idea as?
[21:59] <Noskcaj> *referring
[21:59] <infinity> Like I said, what's wrong with the current netboot?
[22:00] <Noskcaj> infinity, nothing, just so the gui install was there and a little as possible had to be downloaded
[22:00] <infinity> We're not likely to start adding more ISOs to QA.
[22:00] <Noskcaj> stupid question, never mind
[22:03] <Noskcaj> didn't think so
[22:06] <smw> Anyone know why the alternate cd was discontinued?
[22:06] <Noskcaj> smw: might have something to do with the fact Ubuntu is 1gb now
[22:07] <smw> Noskcaj, does ubuntu 12.10 fit on a cd?
[22:07] <smw> the desktop one I mean
[22:08] <infinity> Has nothing to do with the size, and everything to do with us not wanting to support and QA two images.
[22:08] <infinity> The people who really need d-i tend to also be the people who use netboot, so the value of the alternate CDs wasn't high.
[22:08] <Noskcaj> smw, no, lubuntu, xubuntu, netboot and maybe kubuntu still do however
[22:09] <smw> ok :-\
[22:10] <smw> infinity, I find them useful anyways
[22:10] <smw> I think I will just install 12.04.1
[22:10] <smw> I don't really need 12.10
[22:10] <Noskcaj> smw: you could always upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10
[22:11] <smw> I see no reason to do that
[22:11] <Noskcaj> ok
[22:14] <infinity> Noskcaj: lubuntu/powerpc should be back.
[22:14] <infinity> (Oversized, and possibly not quite working, but at least I got it building again)
[22:15] <infinity> smw: Are you installing on machines that have no network access?
[22:15] <infinity> smw: Or on machines that can't display a GUI?
[22:15] <infinity> (Cause that's the only cross-section that the alternate CD would serve... and for the latter, you'd probably want the server CD)
[22:16] <smw> infinity, nah, I just like the alternate cd...
[22:16] <smw> and my dl speed is quite horrible
[22:17] <infinity> Okay, so what's wrong with the desktop CD?
[22:17] <smw> I just don't like it. Debian installer is the one I know (not a good reason I guess)
[22:22] <smw> infinity, I am downloading the desktop cd. Only another 1-1.5 hours left (17% done so far).
[22:25] <Noskcaj> infinity, thanks, we can now test the most broken iso in history. ppc d-i: can't boot after install, desktop: many graphics issues, all: kvm issues, most: oversized.
