recovery CD?

2007-09-30 Thread Mihamina (R12y) Rakotomandimby
Hi, I made a fresh install on a laptop I am going to give to a dummy (on computer) person. I would like to know if there is some way to create a recovery CD of the installation. I installed some restricted drivers and that person would be unable to do so. Especially after a disaster. I would li

Hi, I dont know if you have already been confronted to the lagging of the mirrors at the date of any release. FTP servers are always overloaded. So. I have a dedicated server, at OVH (a French ISP) and another one at CTN1 (also French): How could I bring my participation in order to use my serv

Why is amd64 late?

2007-09-17 Thread Mihamina (R12y) Rakotomandimby
Hi, Why is the amd64 release/tribe always late? My favorite example is about the Xen support: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/base/linux-image-2.6.22-11-xen It is i386 only at the moment... As far as I know, Ubuntu tries to be up to date and tries to support the maximum of hardware as possible. An

how to rebuild a kernel package on amd64?

2007-09-02 Thread Mihamina (R12y) Rakotomandimby
Hi, There is a -xen linux-image but only for i386. I expected gettting the kernel package source on my amd64 version and rebuilding the package would build a -xen image for my arch. I see it did not, because built packages are not xen kernels but "simple" kernels. I want at least try to build it.
