I guess it's a headless server? In that case I would be interested, if only it'll be smaller than the Debian VirtualBox image available from David Bandel ( http://david.bandel.us/software/software.shtml ).
Or is it configured to have a dynamically growing harddisk? If so, what's the maximum size that you configured it for? I do hope it'll be less than 20 GB, otherwise I will not be able to convert it on my laptop into a raw image that can be imported by my KVM VM manager. Lack of HD space :( ario On Mon, 2012-04-09 at 19:37 +0100, n...@npbroadcast.com wrote: > I have prepared a list of commands to install ledgersmb on a clean Ubuntu > Server 11.10 installation. > > I found problems with the existing Ubuntu installation instructions at: > http://www.ledgersmb.org/help/install/Ubuntu_Installation_Tutorial_LedgerSMB-1.3-SERIES.html > > The commands are based on those instructions, but they address problems > including: > * update package requirements to suit ledgersmb-1.3.14 > * remove references to broken links > * remove redundant/duplicate steps > > I have tested this procedure, starting with a clean Ubuntu Server > installation, on a Virtualbox machine.
