Hi Marcus, Thanks for the explanation, I was mistaken about removing the install option.
My specific situation was that I wanted to test my project in the latest GnuRadio. This version was released but not in the Ubuntu repo. I was worried about breaking my current setup trying to upgrade or install two instances of GnuRadio. The Live DVD wasn't a good option for me because is not persistent. I solved this creating a VirtualBox and installing GnuRadio after. As you said, it wasn't hard, but it took me a while to do and I did had some problems with PyBOMBS (it was my first attempt ;). It would be nice to have a VirtualBox image that a new user can import and start using, specially for Windows users. Just as a related note, this maybe interesting for someone that wants to create an iso from a working system and then install it in a different machine: http://pinguyos.com/2015/09/pinguy-builder-an-app-to-backupremix-buntu/ Kind Regards, Murray On 7 September 2017 at 11:53, Marcus Müller <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
