Re: [Trisquel-users] Difficulty compiling from source

[chris]

Actually that isn't entirely true. While it has been a while since I've done  
it there is a way to create a CD with all the dependencies needed. Most  
people just aren't aware of the feature. I've only used it a handful of  
times. I believe the last time I used it was to create a CD for customers on  
dial-up. They purchased a 56K USB modem from us and the distribution didn't  
include the dial-up modem software (despite having the driver). The solution  
was to burn a CD with the application (and its dependencies). The user then  
sticks the CD when they get it and it'll prompt them to install the software.

Here is one tool to do this:

This is in the repository too so it is easy to install.
