== install.11.10 reports error, firefox does not give a web page ==
Generally if there is a problem during executing the install script, re-invoke the install command. I have seen this problem once where the install script could not install a ruby gem (probably because the repository was not available or accessible). retrying the install after 15 minutes or so resolved this.
= 12.04 Notes =
Below are some notes for 12.04. These are recordings of things to do, work in progress and not a fully fledged recipe! Do not use this yet unless you are very adventurous.
Steps (preferred)
* download server iso (tested: 32 bit)
* boot into iso (from CD or whatever)
* select language
* select install server
* select language again
* select location
* configure system (kbd etc)
* do not encrypt home dir; encrypted home dir is not tested by me and will probably slow things down
* the amount of disk space depends on what you want to do. A basic system can run in 8 GB but if you want to have much apps or much content you definitely want a lot more.
* opt for install security updates automatically (you probably want to keep things secure; most people tend not to spent too much time on maintenance activities)
* for "Software to install" only select "OpenSSH server"
* after install "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade"
Or (less preferred and tested)
* download destop iso
* start installer
* click on the "install" button
* check the box before "Download updates while installing"
* fill in the forms the installer will present to you (I did opt for setting a password; as I saw issues with autologin in older versions of ubuntu, I did not use autologin)
* use update manager to update installed packages
After installing ubuntu run the procedure as described above, with the exception that you should get the install script from amahi.herobo.com (wget amamhi.herobo.com/install.11.10 ; yes it still needs to be renamed but works for 12.04 too)<br>
three issues popped up:
* network settings were wrong
* no appps
Note that this is all very premature. Stay tuned
