Re: Packages+Dependencies for Ubuntu 8.04 (i386)
Hi all
I have modified this release a little. No I've included two ISOs
- only multimedia packages
- multimedia packages + default system updates
So you can download whichever suits your needs the best
Application list (August 2008):
htop - an extension of top for viewing system processes
kchmviewer - a CHM viewer
evince (for Kubuntu only) - a pdf viewer
mplayer - a multimedia player
kmplayer (for Kubuntu only) - instead of Mplayer. If you install firefox then do install mozilla-mplayer
firefox(for Kubuntu only as it does not have firefox)
mozilla-mplayer plugin - Mplayer plugin for firefox
audacious - a winamp look-alike
k3b - burn baby burn, CD/DVD burning
libk3b2-extracodecs - extra codecs for K3b
normalize-audio - needed for K3b
sox - needed for K3b
vcdimager - needed for K3b

peazip - an archiving tool like Winzip
wine - a Windows emulator
ubuntu-restricted (Ubuntu only)

xubuntu-restricted (Xubuntu only)
Instructions:
- Download one of these iso files
- Packages listed above without default system upgrade
FTP Download md5sum 3aa1802ee71ea98a2931d814913cfbb9 Size: 168.9 MB
- Packages listed above with default system upgrade
I have split this iso into six peices to facilitate easy download.
Mediafire.com supports download managers so don't worry.
- Piece 1
- Piece 2
- Piece 3
- Piece 4
- Piece 5
- Piece 6
We are now going to use a terminal to assemble the file. Do not be afraid, the command line is your friend !
Tip: when you are keying in the name of a file in the current folder that you are in, just type the partial name and press the Tab key once; if the file name is unique it will autocomplete
Press Alt and F2, and type
gnome-terminal (in Ubuntu)
konsole (in Kubuntu)
xterm (in Xubuntu)
By default you will now be in your home folder. We now want to navigate to the desktop where you saved your downloaded files.
Type
cd Desktop
and press ENTER.
Note that the D of Desktop is in capitals. Linux is case sensitive -
Desktop is not the same as desktop
Type
ls
and press ENTER.
You should see the six files, aug_32_2008_aa to aug_32_2008_af, besides other files if any on your desktop.
Type
md5sum aug_32_2008_a*
and press ENTER. You should see the following output
f71983da44b471f3abb76780220b2495 aug_32_2008_aa
c303fac1c90efc1005d77547d89f0041 aug_32_2008_ab
c232ecb884341df30876ddad7d8d3b5e aug_32_2008_ac
fe1133497f9eae08f6f88e762bff372f aug_32_2008_ad
c27a5d43348ec530238072238c7c339c aug_32_2008_ae
02a7d2950737bfd1b605d4c48b3bf94c aug_32_2008_af
that is, the md5sum with the corresponding filename.
This means your files are ok, if any of them differ then that particular part file has got corrupted during download and will have to be redownloaded.
If all is well, type
cat aug_32_2008_a* > upgrade.iso
and press ENTER.
Wait till you get the prompt back, the file upgrade.iso will be assembled on your desktop.
Type
ls
and press ENTER.
You should see the file upgrade.iso among other files on your desktop.
Type
md5sum upgrade.iso
and press ENTER.
You should get the following value a6f07b2fb7593d5c29e0c6a75c4148df
