LiveUSB  
Written by Taku the 28 Feb 08 at 14:35. Category: System. Related to: Nothing/Others. Implemented
cdroms are slow, don't allow to modify their content easily, they are weak and not as easy to carry as USB keys.

It would be great to provide Ubuntu as a liveUSB just as Mandriva does. We should be able to carry our distribution on any computer, manage our preferred settings (do I want binary drivers enabled ? what is my preferred resolution ?), etc.

The thing is not to make something transportable, but really a nomad system that could be used just the best way as it could on any computer.

Developer comments
This was implemented by two separate projects! Both Usb-creator (see the blueprint) and Usblive (see its website) allow you to build a live USB system on Intrepid.
The first one is available on the repository, and usblive in this PPA.

Hi!

I'm a big fan of Images like .iso.
But it is not very easy to mount this Images.
I think there must be a Tool in Nautilus and Dolphin wich alows mounting Images with a double Click. (This feature exists int MacOS). Or with a right click on the file and then there must be a poit "Mount Image". I thick that would be a very use full Tool for every one.
A good example for this is CDemu.

I know there are some ohter good programs, but I think that would be the easyest way and very confortible.

Add package for new Adobe Flash 10 beta  
Written by swegner the 16 May 08 at 17:22. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. Not an idea
Adobe released a beta version of their Flash 10 plugin, and it's available from their website here:

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_install_lin ux_051508.tar.gz

Since the current flash-nonfree package is already relatively unstable (esp. on AMD64), we should consider packing a flash-nonfree-10beta for this early release. Of course, the beta shouldn't replace the current version, but the option should be available.

The package should conflict with flash-nonfree so the two aren't installed simultaneously, and should do the work of automatically fetching the latest beta from Adobe.

Manual install instructions and other details here:
