Hello All,
I am so happy. :) Finally I got rid of Etch testing and installed my
long awaited Kubuntu 6.10 dvd. It has more boot options than 6.06 and
the dvd has a server version included. So for installing a server one
has to type 'server' or 'server-expert' at boot prompt. There is an
option for command line only install in the main menu itself.
Its paint program is much improvised from the earlier one that was like
M$ Paint. This one has 'Krita' which has good features like photoshop or
gimp. I love KDE. Long live KDE. Cheers to all the KDE guys. Keep up the
good work. Multimedia audio/video is not proper as usual even after all
the upgrades and codec installations. But thats normal in Linux. Open
media formats play fine.
Finally, those who have always been searching for an option to boot any
Ubuntu cd into a live root console only, I found the solution from the
net. Simply use the option that allows you to edit the boot string and
add 'single' at the end of the line and hit enter. This boots the system
live into a root prompt without asking for a password. I have hunted for
this in the cd menu itself but could never find it. I tried 1 and rescue
but that did not help. I recollect using 'single' for Red Hat.
