Even better "Built my own"
sam:
just get a ubuntu disc Simon! :-)
I spent yesterday compiling some radio astronomy software - it reminded me of building Gentoo from source in that it took 10x longer than installing Ubuntu to compile, blooming code! I blame the person who was adding code to it.. oh wait that was me!
Simon:
;D
D-Dan:
Well,
I've started the "real" install now, got the base system and kernal built and booting, sorted out my wireless and wpa (which caused no end of problems, but working now) and a couple of basic utilities. Need to get lynx (text based web browser) sorted out, though this is causing me some problems since one of the pre-requisites refuses to build (4 separate choices for this, and none of them will build). I'll probably get back to it later. Once I get that done, I'll build python (which in tests built very easily, so not expecting problems there) and then I'll make a start on a desktop. When I have that working, I'll take a screen grab (or possibly, at that stage, a photo) and post :)
Simon:
Good luck!
