Hi,
I am just trying to install Ubuntu on one of these new cheap small notebooks
without a CDROM drive (MSI Wind). I therefore have to use a USB stick.
While there are good descriptions and tools to put the desktop LiveCD
on a USB stick and even use persistant storage on pendrivelinux.com,
there are no hints about how to put the alternate CD on a USB stick.
For some installation features (e.g. LVM and disk encryption) the alternate
CD is required.
I tried to copy it on a USB stick and to boot it with syslinux, which worked
as expected (copied isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg), the installation
procedure
fails with the error message that it does not find a CDROM drive.
Any idea how to run the alternate installation from a USB pendrive?
regards
Hadmut

I guess Sebastien Bacher is in charge of the the Gnome packages, so here go=
es:
As anyone tried to fix/set/change the time in Intrepid?
It took me 3 tries just to understand where and how to do it.
There is no information if the clock is set to 12 or 24h, the set filed has=
the minutes and seconds correct, but the hour is set to a random value (mi=
ne is at 11h).
This is too much different from what we had on Hardy.
Is this how we are going to present to new users?
