Thank you for your reply John. However, I think you might have thought I meant
copying data.
In a typical setup with a complete clean hardrive (nothing installed) I would
first install the operating system, in this case UBUNTU 9.04. I then go the
appropriate site to copy all the links and associated programs for USRP to work
this can take up to 1 hour usually with problems. Once everything is running
well I want to copy the total image of this hard drive on to a DVD. The DVD
can then be used to install the operating system plus all associations on
another clean hardrive. Therefore, being completely independent of the
internet to install USRP on a new PC.
Hope this makes sense.
