basicaly it should work, as the network is setup, and you can even set it to download the latest versions of everything ... and so on .. .but you need to have a fast contant connection(something better than 56k or even 128k for that matter..) else the setup will last the whole day. I am even sure I had installed something that asked for downloading the updates and patches.. but I cannt get to remeber what it was... the last time I installed an OS was from the time i found ubuntu.. then it was synaptic heaven.. and apt-get too :p <div>On 9/16/05, R Kimber <<a href="mailto:rkimber@ntlworld.com">rkimber@ntlworld.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Fri, 16 Sep 2005 03:07:53 +0300 (EEST) Ari Torhamo <<a href="mailto:ari.torhamo@saunalahti.fi">ari.torhamo@saunalahti.fi</a>> wrote: > > As mentioned on previous occasions when this question has come up, > > the reason this doesn't work is not because the code isn't there, > > but because there isn't space on the CD for multiple kernels (and > > if we could scavenge that space, it would be better used for other > > things like additional language support). > > What about in the future making the installation start with a single > processor kernel and if multiple processors are detected (and > download software from the internet is selected (or something)), smp > kernel would be installed?

The download/install could take place after the CD has been removed and when the main stuff is being loaded. Perhaps. Like you I don't know if that presents technical problems. - Richard. -- Richard Kimber <a href="http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/"> http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/</a> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users"> http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Maxim ( msn: <a href="mailto:m@xim.uni.cc">m@xim.uni.cc</a> )
