Installing Januty Armel On NSLU2
Hi Over the past few days I have been trying to install the latest Jaunty build on my NSLU2, but seem to be having some problems. I am using the latest di-nslu2.bin from http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/jaunty/main/installer-armel/20081029ubuntu22/images/ixp4xx/netboot/ and it fixes all the previous problems of too much memory being used & the locale language issue that has been also reported. However now when Iam comming the end of the install, selecting the option from the menu of "Finish Instillation", Iam getting asked a a little about UTC time which I choose Yes to and then after a couple of minutes I loose my SSH connection to my NSLU2. I can relog back into it again but end back at the installer menu on "Finish Instillation", but if I select this again it just drops my SSH connection. Has anyone been able to successfully install Januty on a NSLU2? Am I doing anything wrong? I have previously had Debian Lenny 5 installed with no problems during & after instillation. Iam mounting Januty to my USB Harddrive. With the Debian 5 instillation, in the Instillation menu there is an option of "Install Boot Loader" & "Countinue Without Bootloader". In the Jaunty installer there is only "Countinue Without Bootloader". Is this correct or is their a menu option missing?

For Web development, "100px" has not meant "100 pixels" since CSS1 in 1996. Rather, it means "100 × (0.0227 degrees, at a typical viewing distance, rounded to the nearest pixel)". This conveniently equates to 1 pixel on a 90 dpi display viewed at a distance of 28 inches. But if either the viewing distance or the DPI is much different, the calculation changes. > Also where is a 100x100 image not displayed as such? >... Whenever it is displayed on a medium that has more than about 145 dpi. For example, when it is printed on a 300 dpi printer.

I would make me change the font size on ALL other applications, besides GNOME Appearance. I'll boot a daily LiveCD and test there, to not mess my current settings... maybe i'm not seeing this correctly. -- Hi, I'm BUGabundo, and I am Ubuntu (whyubuntu.com) (``-_-´´) http://LinuxNoDEI.BUGabundo.net Linux user #443786GPG key 1024D/A1784EBB My new micro-blog @ http://BUGabundo.net ps.

So, for people who put their face one-handspan from the screen, what's a pixel? -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
