Hi,
I would like to make a Ubuntu live CD. That is to say a CD similar to
the usual installation CD but with the installer stripped out. The CDs
would be used in a classroom where I don't want students actually
installing Ubuntu just running it from the CD. I haven't (yet) found out
how to do this
Can anyone explain the what is going on here?
I recently built my son a new computer running Ubuntu 7.04. He connects
to the internet via Bigpond cable. The cable modem feeds a router and
the computer connects to the router via ethernet. (Also tried connecting
without the router)

Perhaps the SLUG committee could consider the purchase of a RingMaster
