Yeah absolutely, the USB key creator will create a bootable CD from any Ubuntu ISO (not the alternative installer ISO however!) On Sun, 2009-02-15 at 16:16 +, Simon Wears wrote: > So perhaps a custom version of the LiveCD with the applications I > need, stored as the Live image through Intrepi

I may be teaching you to suck eggs but I run Thunderbird 2, Lightning 0.9 and Provider for Google calendar .0.5.1 and it works perfectly. Looking back over the emails you seem to be trying to download a program whereas Lightning and Provider for Google calendar are addons. They are available by go

So perhaps a custom version of the LiveCD with the applications I need, stored as the Live image through Intrepids USB key creator? I'll have a go tomorrow when I get my Ubuntu PC back, and let you know how well it goes. 2009/2/15 Scott Pashley > Hi, > > The persistence will still allow a live

Hi all, I have Hutchison, trading as "3", my O/S is 8,04, as dongle software is written for windows, any step-by-step help to try and get it to run on Ubuntu 8.04 would be appreciated... Thanks all, Michael --- On Sun, 15/2/09, Andrew Williams wrote: From: Andrew Williams Subject: Re: [ubu

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Lightning

Thanks for the replies and help. I do use google to synchronise my contacts and calendar with my iPhone but the snag with Lightning is that AIUI version 0.9 is required and I have had to revert to Ubuntu 8.04 which restricts me to v 0.8 of Lightning. Kris suggestede a webDAV server but I think

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Custom Ubuntu for a USB key

Hi, The persistence will still allow a live boot, so for example when Linux is booting it will detect the hardware on your computer and load the required drivers just as it would if running from a Live CD. The persistence is only for user files and any additional applications that you chose to ins

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Installing Orange wireless dongle on Ubuntu 8.10

I have used one of these dongles (different network, same hardware) and Network Manager just configured it for me. It was a Vodafone one that I set up, perhaps if the Orange ones continually refuse to work you could try a Voda one to see if it is your configuration or something that Orange has done

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Lightning

An easy way to synchronise multiple calendars is to use the Google Calendar Provider add-on I use this to sunchronise my Thunderbird (lightning) calendar with Windows Outlook and of course Google. Any change

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Installing over Failed Upgrades

Thanks guys. Before starting the process using the Live Ubuntu CD, is the installer intelligent enough to see the existing partitions and use them, or will I still have to define each one? Is it better to install direct from the CD, or launch the Live CD and install from there? The HD for Ubuntu

I would install with a cd - overwriting the existing buntu partitions - backup your data - which I assume you do anyway :) With the livecd - pick manual when it gets to the partitioning, you can then choose which to use - I think the alternate cd allows you to pick partitions. Ian Pascoe w

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Installing over Failed Upgrades

Backup data and install with the standard installation CD. Personally I have two hard drives, one with the system stuff and the other with personal data. Makes updating very easy, you could do the same with partitions on a single drive. Upgrading from previous versions is best only done when you

[ubuntu-uk] Installing over Failed Upgrades

Folks Many moons ago one of my boxes failed to upgrade from 7.01 to 7.10 properly - the Ubuntu installation runs OK-ish, but with extremely unpredictable results; not really surprising. This box is a dual boot with XP, for which it is primarily used at the moment. I'd like to install 8.04 in the
