HI all, I've been trying to get the new Edubuntu DVD ready for the Ubuntu Alpha 6 release, the last alpha for Karmic. [0] I was able to put all the usual Edubuntu apps into the Livefs part of the DVD, however that pushed the size of the DVD to 4.5GB . Since a regular DVD is 4.2 GB and 4.5GB is a whole lot of downloading, I tried to shrink it as much as I could by removing obvious .debs from the DVD that we're not interested in right now (apache, software development tools, etc.). This got us down to 3.2 GB.
In order for the Edubuntu Alpha 6 DVD to be release we have to perform installation testing. The Ubuntu QA team's ISO tracker has the DVD listing [1]. The link to the .iso there still points to the addon CD so you'll need to get it from cdimage.ubuntu.com directly.[2] Make sure to use the latest iso and note which one it is (in case of having to rebuild the image). We need both i386 and amd64 testing today!! -Jordan [0] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule [1] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/edubuntu/all [2] http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/dvd/ -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
