| 21:52.22 | z00dax | TimMagic: what is the problem anyway ? |
| 21:53.44 | TimMagic | the new release installation is on a live cd |

| 21:54.12 | TimMagic | and it just hangs on the 3rd of 6 steps |
| 21:54.20 | z00dax | i am sure it has a server edition or a text light edition as well.. |
| 21:54.31 | z00dax | why not install that first and then apt / smartpm install the rest |
| 21:54.55 | TimMagic | apt/smartpm??? |
| 21:56.40 | TimMagic | http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/ - i have the desktop cd but it looks like i can use the server install cd. am i right? |

| 21:59.59 | TimMagic | the cd stops spinning and the little hard drive light just flashes at me |
| 22:00.13 | z00dax | bad step 3 huh ? |
| 22:00.20 | TimMagic | yeah could be |
| 22:00.26 | z00dax | ah well, if only i know what you were talking about and what those steps were :) |
| 22:00.33 | z00dax | does it log to any of the VC's ? |
| 22:00.49 | TimMagic | vc's? |
| 22:01.12 | z00dax | the text virtual consoles |
| 22:01.21 | TimMagic | not sure |
| 22:01.22 | z00dax | ALT+CTRL+F1 should take you to VC#1 |
| 22:01.51 | TimMagic | i may just give it a miss for tonight and do it tomorrow |
| 22:02.18 | TimMagic | 2300 is not a good time to be installing operating systems :-) |
| 22:02.34 | TimMagic | plus i am bittorrenting the two other iso's |
| 22:02.40 | TimMagic | the alternate and the server |
| 22:03.35 | hali | or just kickstart the install.. the ubuntu installer supports both anaconda kickstart files and the preconfigure preseed files... neat |
| 22:04.16 | TimMagic | i really am a total newbie - how would i do that? |
| 22:05.13 | hali | oh sorry, then it an be a bit tricky... you need another machine with a tftp, dhcp and web server on it.. and you can write a small script to "describe" your install and do it over the network without launching X on the machine you are installing on |
| 22:05.53 | TimMagic | sounds v tricky! |
| 22:05.56 | z00dax | sounds like a massive kludge to get a distro installed |
| 22:06.07 | TimMagic | thanks for attempting to help |
| 22:06.21 | z00dax | surely the ubuntu installer isnt so braindead that it does not user -accessible log'ing |
| 22:07.00 | TimMagic | it probably does |
| 22:07.18 | hali | add debconf=low when you boot and you get more prompts.. otherwise its sort of "assume" your decisions |
| 22:07.27 | TimMagic | but being a klutz i dunno what im doing |
| 22:07.33 | hali | :) |
| 22:07.53 | hali | you can run the installer without X from the CD as well i think.. there is a boot option to use text mode |
| 22:08.37 | TimMagic | thats how i got breezy on to start with |
| 22:08.46 | TimMagic | it looked "dos-like" |
| 22:08.54 | TimMagic | (not the correct term i know!) |
| 22:09.07 | hali | im looking at the docs now.. i think the alternative cd is the way to go |
| 22:09.08 | z00dax | classic quote |
| 22:09.13 | z00dax | ubuntu : it looks dos-like |
| 22:09.39 | mikejw | dos-like rules |
| 22:10.06 | hali | or we could just call it ncurses |
| 22:10.48 | TimMagic | z00dax: you misquote me - only the installer does! |
| 22:11.13 | TimMagic | hali: if you think alternative is the way to go - ill give it a bash! |
| 22:12.01 | hali | at least it got way more options to try... |
| 22:12.28 | hali | hm, the dapper docs really suck.. the docs for hoary where so much better.. |
| 22:12.34 | hali | whory |
| 22:16.35 | TimMagic | lol! |
