Yes it did! I just tested the iso on virtual machine. Time to wikify it. Congrats!! Regards, Sameep http://www.thelinuxblog.co.cc -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] Edubuntu LiveCD
I am going to summarize the procedure step-wise (please confirm): Alternate 1: Step One: Install Ubuntu 8.10 on the computer (or use the existing installation) Step Two: Download the Ubuntu Education CD 8.10 (the add-on cd) available from the mirros listed on http://www.edubuntu.com/download#addoncd Step Three: Burn the downloaded iso image on a blank cd Step Four: Install the Edubuntu 8.10 Desktop from this newly created cd Step Five: Install remastersys (instructions at http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/ubuntu.html) Step Six: Run remastersys and create the LiveCD or LiveDVD of the Edubuntu 8.10 and Step Seven: Enjoy :-) Alternate 2: Step One: Install Ubuntu 8.10 on the computer (or use the existing installation) Step Two: Run Synaptic Package Manager --- Install edubuntu-desktop Step Three: Follow Steps 5, 6 7 of Alternate 1 above On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 1:22 PM, Sameep same...@yahoo.com wrote: Sameep If the iso file generally exceeds 700 MB, it is obvious that it won't be possible to write it on a cd.

The link that you gave me has all the details. Thanks. But I would really like to know, how would you create a Edubuntu LiveCD using remastersys. You can download the installable one , install it and then run remastersys to create a Live DVD . Alternatively , you can use a Desktop Edition of Ubuntu , install required edubuntu packages from the repo , and then run remastersys. I would however , reccomend the first method.

I just missed out this fact. I have used Edubuntu 6.10 and the download section says that from 8.04, they have changed the structure. Maybe the only way left is to transfer the addon cd over the network (the crude way). This can surely work. I have done once before, but faced lots of problems as configuring NFS is also an issue. The only way is to run an HTTP server on host, put the addoncd on the host and access this server from the guest using Firefox. This can be a better method though looks weird. For the above you should have enough RAM as 430MB of addoncd would probably be stored on the RAM of the guest OS.
