    Unofficial Ubuntu 5.04 Add-On CD

    For those who:
    -have no/slow internet connections
    -have problems connecting to ubuntu and backports repositories
    -are too lazy to do all the apt-get and commands
    -are new to linux and doesn't know much about it
    -just wants things to be configured right
    -wants ubuntu to be multimedia and internet ready

    Unofficial Ubuntu 5.04 Add-On CD

    Includes:

    UbuntuGuide (http://ubuntuguide.org)

    Bootable SystemRescueCd (http://sysresccd.org)
    -contain tools like Partition Manager (that can resize Windows), etc.

    An install script (ug-install.sh) that will:
    -custom/auto install all the Add-On Apps mentioned in UbuntuGuide (no internet connection required)
    -fix the sound prob (for most computers)
    -associate dvd, multimedia files to open with xine-ui and xmms rather than totem
    -associate graphic files to open with gthumb
    -improve fonts appearance in GNOME desktop

    Linux Extras (/media/cdrom0/packages/linux/extras/):
    -The Linux Documentation Project - HOWTOs

    Windows Extras (/media/cdrom0/packages/windows/extras/):
    -Firefox 1.06
    -Thunderbird 1.06
    -Gaim 1.4.0
    -Gimp 2.2.8
    -etc

    To install/extract the Add-On CD:
    sudo sh /media/cdrom0/install.sh
    *This will only copy the packages into your hardisk. A copy of UbuntuGuide will be located on Desktop

    To custom install Add-On Apps after install/extract the Add-On CD:
    sudo sh $HOME/ug-install.sh
    *This will prompt you [Y/n/q] to install all the Add-On Apps

    Optional - To auto/unattended install Add-On Apps after install/extract the Add-On CD:
    sudo sh $HOME/ug-install.sh -auto
    *This will save you lots of time. It will assumed Y to install all. Apps that needs input will only appear at the end of installation

    Once the script (ug-install.sh) is installed, things are in place and multimedia, internet apps are ready to go...

    ubuntu-5.04-add-on-cd-2005-08-01.tgz

    Great idea, can't wait to get my hands on this! I have (some) troubles downloading stuff from the Internet due to dodgy network proxies and firewalls. So this will be an ideal friend for my Ubuntu install...

    Need any help putting it all together? I'll do what I can.

    I was actually trying to do this. I'm not on my computer with the bookmark but making a debian cd was way over my head to get apt-cdrom add to recognize it. So instead I just made a script with the .deb files and used dpkg -i...arggh. Anyway it works well if anyone wants to try it I'll put it here...I think it's around 85MB. I'll start another thread so .zip file doesn't get confused with the cd.

    Yeah I could host it jiyuu0...currently have 4.5TB/month bandwidth on my site.

    edit: ok now at computer How to make a custom debian cd is way over my head

    not sure if one can do it with jidgo or not.

    When it's finished - why not go the full hogg and get the ubuntu developers to put the official stamp on it?? The Ubuntu Guide itself is absolutely amazing. I don't see why they'd object...

    it would be great if you host it...

    btw, if you have noticed, in the guide all the wget is pointing to this server http://www.myosc.org/ubuntuguide
    and i think the bandwidth there is also going to burst...
    can i put all the files at your server? can i have a ssh login to the folder so that i can easily update it if there's a new version

    now... what the CD would do is

    1) it will contain the cache folder of my hard disk (all apps from ubuntuguide)
    2) the configure script will then
    cp -fr /media/cdrom/packages/etc /
    cp -fr /media/cdrom/packages/var /
    *only the apt from etc and var
    3) then there will be a modified version on ubuntuguide on desktop, where the instructions are the same... only no apt-get update and wget

    by doing this, users should have no prob with broken dependencies as long they read it properly and don't apt-get update
