Re: [ilugd] How to install Ubuntu 9.10 form Network
Hi Guys, recently I bought Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop having Genuine window 7 OS installed. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 making it dual boot and my problem is when i work on ubuntu it's very slow and mouse is functioning well when i clicked somewhere only its cursor is moving perfectly. whole function is very slow slow and i have 4 GB RAM..i didn't understand it clearly what exactly is the problem. is it due to beta version or it is not compatible with Dell Inspiron 1440...i don't know exactly, should i have to change it into older version of Ubuntu or try some other Linux OS.. i always suggest or boost other to use Linux and Open Source Software. but here my condition is worst. kindly help me in this regard. i hope anyone of you might have solution for that.

Re: [ilugd] How to install Ubuntu 9.10 form Network
This is very much doable with PXE boot, dhcp, tftp and preseed. I have a install server setup on a ubuntu box in a local subnet which I use to install variety of distros with multiple versions each. Have a look at For ubuntu have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet Once setup, copy over ubuntu alternate to local disk, serve it over http and make your boot server point to it so that everything happens locally.

I was taken in with the possibiities of revisor (http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/), but I could not get to see the categories : listing packages one-by-one was too painful. My eventual implementation was to install to disk from a system booted through a live USB, and update from a local yum repo. But then I had ten students and a 24port gigabit switch - and it still took two days. And its not Ubuntu :). I did use g4u [1] to clone the hard disk to install the OS on ten computers a year back - successfully. Would recommend using that with DHCP - otherwise you have to do a post install configuration to change the network settings on each machine.
