Alpha Release for Testers

Welcome to the Alpha 2 release of Amahi Ubuntu Edition!

This is our second alpha release ... still expect turbulence! Let's start with the caveats and then on to how to install!

This is a second alpha release. Expect your machine to explode in a million pieces losing all the data.
No graphical installer yet. Installation involves two CLI (command-line) commands
No applications are available for Ubuntu yet. This is on purpose, so that we keep the focus tightly on platform stability before chasing ghosts in apps
Only supported on Ubuntu 10.04 desktop and server edition
32bit is the only platform supported. x86 64bit and arm are not supported yet
This has been also tested on Debian, but not as well as in Ubuntu
There are no automatic updates or ways to update from your install to an eventual release or from the first alpha.
Greyhole is not yet supported
Debian is not well supported in this release (there are a couple of known issues). We are focusing on Ubuntu only for now.

Download Ubuntu 10.04 CD/DVD
Install Ubuntu. Only 10.04 has been tested. If you want to test other releases, let us know if or how they work.
Open a terminal and become root by typing:

bash code
`sudo su -`

Double check your network settings with ifconfig and route -n
Make sure you have the proper network settings set up in your control panel, with one profile and one install code
Get the installer:

bash code
`wget http://ubuntu.amahi.org/ubuntu.install`

bash code
`sh ubuntu.install YOUR_INSTALL_CODE`

This should take a little while and many messages will flash by the screen.

At the end, reboot. After that, http://hda should be working.

Refer to the Debian page for the latest info, how to install via other methods and development updates.

The old Ubuntu information (mostly out of date now) is in the Ubuntu old page.
