Hi Murray,

technically, corganlabs (who's designing that liveDVD) didn't *remove* the install option – it's just that the Ubuntu doesn't come with a solution to install stuff like it's installed on the DVD to disk. You just end up with a default Ubuntu.

That's why it's kinda hard to do this right.

I do have a live system of my own, Fedora-based, which comes with a lot less modules than the official live DVD. But: Fedora does package a lot of the popular OOT modules. Also, when you start with a working GNU Radio installation, building OOTs from source shouldn't be all that hard, even without tools like PyBOMBS.

So, maybe this is the point to actually specifically ask you: what did you try to do? Is there something that we can make better about the ecosystem (and we actually intentionally carry "ecosystem" in the logo!) so that things are less of a hassle for you?

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi,

In the last couple of years I have read this same request from different people, including myself. It iss true that installing GnuRadio on top of a fresh Ubuntu install is not hard, but it does take time. Sometimes, being able to create an quick installation with a known to work setup is useful. In my case, I just wanted to create a Virtualbox to test the latest GnuRadio.

I see no benefit on removing the install option and I would appreciate if this is considered for the next Live DVD.

Regards,
Murray

    As far as I'm aware of, there's no direct way.

    Also, little benefit, as with modern Ubuntu, you can also use
    Ubuntu's gnuradio package (unless you /want/ to build GNU Radio
    from source or use a specific version of a dependency of GNU
    Radio, but neither are use cases for users of the live DVD).

    So, instead, just install Ubuntu 16.04, or Fedora 26, or Gentoo,
    or Arch Linux, or the most recent Debian, on your hard drive
    using their installation methods, and then install GNU Radio
    using the respective package manager.

    Best regards,
