Re: Ubuntu Dok
2009/2/6 Ori Idan o...@helicontech.co.il: You are free to continue this thread on the list. We just called IBM in regard to Ori's BIOS update. It appears that the BIOS update is available only for Windows. I called IBM, but the tech said that there is a problem with the computers, and asked that I call back soon. I asked that they call _me_ back. I stress that this is a _business_ machine (from International _Business_ Machines, or IBM) and such downtime is unacceptable. I will _not_ randomly call them and hope that their computers are working at that same moment. The tech agrees to call me back, but he cannot accept a non-US phone number. This is not acceptable from _International_ Business Machines. I asked to speak with a supervisor and although she had no idea what Windows is, she suggested that I call 1-800-426-7378 to speak to a real tech. Is this what we should expect of IBM now? I think that they should drop the I and the B, and just call themselves M. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

It seems that the DoK solution is not good for me. The computer I am trying to install on is IBM ThinkPad X31 and it seems that it can't boot from DoK so although I have a working Ubuntu DoK I can not use it for my computer. Does anyone have any idea how can I install Ubuntu on this computer without a CD?

It may also be that the DOK does not work properly with the computer, I have had that problem, but that was a long time ago. Make sure it is directly connected to the computer, I have had trouble using a hub when booting from a DOK. I did a quick web search and found: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dpelleg/X31_freebsd.html For the purposes of installing, I think it is safe to assume it works the same with Linux as FreeBSD. The web page says: Straightforward, using an external USB CD-ROM. If you remember my post answering your question, I suggested that an external DVD drive would do. I repeat my offer, if you are in Jerusalem, you are welcome to come here with it. I have both a working Ubuntu DOK, and an external USB DVD drive. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Re: Ubuntu Dok
Don't forget to check the cd integrity before you create a DOK and the dok integrity after you create it - its not fun to find out that the install failed just because of that. 2009/2/1 Ori Idan o...@helicontech.co.il Thank you very much, I have found it, I will try it in the next few days. -- Ori Idan On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 5:07 PM, Noam Rathaus no...@beyondsecurity.comwrote: Hi ori, Ubuntu 8.10 have in their gui an option to create bootable disk on keys That might be a good starting point if you have an existing installation --Original Message-- From: Ori Idan Sender: linux-il-boun...@cs.huji.ac.il To: IGLU Mailing list Subject: Ubuntu Dok Sent: Jan 30, 2009 11:51 Does anyone know where can I get a DoK running Ubuntu (preferably 8.10) so I can install it on a computer without a CD? -- Ori Idan ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il Thanks, Noam Rathaus Beyond Security ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il -- Nitzan Brumer Http://n2b.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
