Dialup is kinda out of the question. With a 900mb file, 200mb more or so is nothing. It's gonna take *WEEKS* or even *MONTHS* , extra 200mb or no.
Everyone will just have to go somewhere else to get it, even without extra language packs. And since it's already too big to fit on a CD, the will use either flash drives, or DVDs. And the language packs won't matter then either. I think that it doesn't matter. And I use dialup. :-) On Sun, Feb 24, 2008 at 10:47 AM, Cory K. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > On Sun, 24 Feb 2008 10:21:57 -0500 > > "Cory K." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> > >>> It would probably be fine to have a small ubuntu install that > >>> includes all the basic stuff and a way to add the 'studio' stuff > >>> (on a meta-package base like -audio, -video, -graphics?). > >>> > >>> Would it be possible to use stuff like apt-on-CD or Jigdo for that > >>> purpose? > >>> > >> For people without DVD drives you can use a Ubuntu disk as a base. > >> Someone can also create their own AptOnCD disk and host it if they > >> like.
