I have just found a bad bug in Israel's ppa package for the OBI. Please use my polished version instead. You get it from Phill's server http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/ and it is described at this wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OBI If you have some computer that won't boot from USB, maybe you can chainboot from a Plop CD or even Plop floppy. There are links to several pdf documents at the wiki page, - General description - OBI quick start manual - README - mkUSB quick start manual If you browse quickly through them, it will be easier to get started. This sub-page helps you make the first tarball https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OBI/MakeOBItarball Best regards Nio -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
