Very important how do i backup my settings ? Not so much how but IF I set it to a folder or drive how long does it take to copy the backup. And what is the file type so I know it when I restore it.


The time it takes varies with how much data you have to copy to the folder or other drive, also a USB drive will take longer to copy than it would to an internal HD.

The file will be in a folder named after your computers name and that file will be called something like; Backup Set 2010-03-22 230745

Sorry you will not be able to get a beta copy of 2.6 unless you are allowed to be a tester/Admin/mod/etc. So you will have to wait like I will for the final release. Believe me it is better to wait for the final, then most, if not all the major problems have been found and fixed by the Ultimate Edition team. You are also part of this team just by being here, I am sure sooner or later you will be able to help other people with some problems. While it is fun to try out beta releases, they do have potential bugs that might crash your whole system. If you only have one computer, then by all means do not play around with beta anything, especially if your dual booting with a Windows system.

Ubuntu 10.04 will be out in about 14 days, I am sure Thee Mahn will have the 2.6 out shortly thereafter. Since 2.6 is based on 10.04 Thee Mahn needs time to address any final changes within 10.04 before releasing 2.6. I hope you can understand that and have the patience to wait, believe me it is HARD to do! But it will be worth it for sure!!!


Couldn't have said it better myself ! Great intuition dathem ! <BREW> :D ;)

Don't know why I didn't think of using the live disk :roll:

You could pop it in
find the packages on the net that you need
download em
copy to your hard drive install
boot out of the live disk
boot into your hard drive
install your packages and walla you should be slick as snot.


Should work....

Hello Jeahavee


Boot up your installed system the one without network manger. put disk in and it'll ask you if you want to add it as a source say yes and go from there.

Mmmmk before I change to wicd I'll like to try using my phone when I'm forced to. At the moment I can't get wireless as in there no choice for it only wired. I can however and have setup my phone as a usb modem. So before Thursday how do I get wireless working. I tried logging into different boots and also installed the OS without the Ethernet plugged in.
