| 1418887 | 2016-04-11 02:07:00 | . . . trying another Linux system, I had this on an old computer a long time ago - I don't know much more about it that I did when I ran it last time either . Puppy got my leg wet this time when it kept dropping the right channel off my sound card . XP still sees and runs it well enough, and yet Puppy makes a mess on the floor once in a while . So - here I am - eating a bit bowl of vanilla ice cream with lots of chocolate and marshmallow on it - no cherry - and watching Ubuntu do it's thing . Right now I have it hard wired to the router, and in a bit I'll take it off and try the wireless ALPHA unit, which Puppy picked up instantly and never had any troubles with it - hooray for that working! About the chocolate on my ice cream - it's because the screen on Ubuntu is chocolate colored . Now to qualify for posting on the TECH-Side of F1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . How do I get updates for this version of Ubuntu? Is it automatic? I know - make that: SINCERELY know - that this is an antique version, since I had it when I lived in San Jacinto, California - and that was many years ago . Does the version name 'jquirty' mean anything? The date on my CD is SEP 09 . Oh well - I'll fumble around here for a while until NZ wakes up I guess . |

| 1418888 | 2016-04-11 02:36:00 | Going to take a guess and say you've got Ubuntu 9.04, or Jaunty Jackalope. That's really, really outdated. You just can't get updates for it anymore, support ended several years ago, around late 2010 if I remember how the Ubuntu support system used to go. Assuming it's an old computer, you'd probably be better off with Xubuntu. Xubuntu 14.04 is the latest LTS branch, although 16.04 should be released soonish. |

| 1418890 | 2016-04-11 02:54:00 | "Jaunty" rings a bell . Pretty sure that's it . This computer is throwing a hissy, and although Jaunty seems stable right now, it forbids me to boot from a usb, on which I have a fresh copy of Zorin . One thing I learned today was that I made the partition on the hdd too big and got error 18 - which I fixed handily enough by re-loading Ubuntu Jaunty again and cut the distro-part smaller than 8 Gig . I'm amazed that a Linux system will cannibalize it's own brethren! That was an eye opener . Sad that, since it's Ubuntu-to-Ububtu, that one can't just put any Ubuntu distro in and let it upgrade itself if it wants to . Ahhh! The things we learn when we're desperate for help, and everyone's asleep but me . Game plan: download NEWER Ubuntu and/or Xubuntu . Can't I just download it to a folder and install it? That would be nice . |

Every version is 5 . 1g and I cannot get that on a dvd . Am I mixing something? Is there some compression tool that I can use and still keep the bootable factor intact? |

From that link, the 32 Bit iso image is 2.69GB I totally agree....that's what I see too --- but when I get it downloaded it says in the PROPERTIES and the DVD burn area it says the files is too big to go onto the DVD. I'll try again on this 'puter, as I was using one with UBUNTU - the very old version, on it. I can't see how that'd make any difference though. |

After seeing your post earlier, had a few minutes to wait while windows 10 was installing on 3 laptops, so downloaded Xubuntu xubuntu.org Its under 1 GB (980mb) Burnt it to a DVD and actually had a bit of fun playing about with it. :) 7092 |
