Very good Move on the separation. I only wish you would do the same for other things as packages as well (e.g. UbuntuStudio). Now my only wish is that ubuntu will focus on easy-of-use and simplified configurations. It's time to move away from everything console. Only leave the very very complicated stuff for the consol but build simple interfaces for configuring systems. Maybe something like a configuration panel or manager where other developers can write little configuration applets to configure theire applications or modules. __ Raymond Irving Oliver Grawert <og...@ub...> wrote: hi all, people that follow the edubuntu development (in the IRC channel or at the weekly edubuntu meetings) will have noticed that the edubuntu-server iso will go away with the hardy release and instead all ltsp bits move to the ubuntu-alternate iso while edubuntu itself will become an addon CD to the different ubuntu flavours (server/desktop etc)... as of todays daily iso build the move of ltsp is done, ubuntu-alternate has the same capability of building a working ltsp out of the box as edubuntu-server had until now. the plan is that with the alpha4 release of ubuntu the edubuntu-server CD wont be built anymore. the current ubuntu alternate iso can be found under (only available for three days as the daily builds rotate and i cant promise there is no dependency breakage in the next dailies so if you want to help testing take this one): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/20080118/ there is no integration with the CD bootmenu yet (the final version will have an option: "Install Terminal Server" or something similar) to install an ubuntu sytem with LTSP use the instructions at the bottom of this mail (note the install is optimized for a two NIC setup on the server, if the installer finds only one NIC it will notify you about manual changes you have to make) the progress bar of the chroot building might appear a bit unresponsive (sitting at 50% for a while) and there is a known prob with the fonts in ldm, i'd like to hear about any further found bugs/problems asap so we can make sure to have the best rocking ltsp5 we ever had with hardy :) instructions: -- snip -- hit F6 after selecting language, VGA and all other options you need at the installer bootmenu of the CD. a comandline will appear at the bottom right, append the following behind the two dashes: ltsp-client-builder/run=true this will run the ltsp setup at the end of the install, if your machine has two network cards the thin client network will then be ready out of the box on the spare network card after your first reboot. -- snap -- ciao oli ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
