Thanks for you as well. But plz never mind as my perception and knowledge seeking behavior towards linux would not be hampered and hoped the same with the newbie like me.
Sharing the experience what utsav have gained is indeed very good for me as you or jwalanta would not have been commenting on the same topics. I am new and I am commenting what I have read about my entries, please pardon me if this puts some -ve impact towards any of u seniors here.

I didn't do my bit of initial research b4 installing it on my xp desktop. A few warnings if you haven't already installed Ubuntu. Can't listen to mp3, watch videos and the like with when you install from the installation CD/DVD. True you cannot do that from straight CD installation, it needs extra packages which can be downloaded from the internet. You need to download separate files/codecs to do that from the system. and also you cannot connect to the internet, Ubuntu does not support PPoE re. Well seems Utsav, you have not done enough research otherwise you would never write that ubuntu does not support pppoe. I myself have configured pppoe for wlink issuing a single command to set it up and another one to connect to it as and when needed. So please make sure that you do know what you are writing. Because what you write can alter the perception of people towards linux. And thing about router is another crap, and just so that you know, if you needed help about getting connected to internet using broadband, you should have writted to this forum rather than writing to ubuntu as we know the system of internet here better than people in ubuntu forum. If you are subscribed to the internet like i am (night surfing wlink or hons and the like you are in deep shit you will need a separate router to use the internet(that's the answer i got from ubuntu forums. so ubuntu for me is on permanent halt unless i buy me a router) As far as your local repository is concerned we are working on it and if everything goes well then we will surely have a local mirror for ubuntu in Nepal from where you can use apt-get to install what ever you want. my questions to the ppl at wlink who've hosted the ubuntu ISO's? Any chance of doing that (getting the mp3 codecs n other from http://opensource.wlink.com.np?? good luck Utsav Dont take it personally, but such points needs to be clarified so that people dont get misleaded and alter their views towards linux. And for how to get the things(internet and music and video) working please refer to Jwalanta's mail, he has provided the relevant links. Good Luck to you as well Cheers On Mar 29, 12:36 am, "nepbabu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thus spoke Prajwal Adhikari on Friday, 28 March 2008 at 23:51:55 +0545: > > > Himanshu ji, > > > I have already downloaded ubantu cd image, but this wubi seeks internet to > > download actual installation files.
