Your link is for the Gnome variant, but the KDE version is also on that server.

Thanks again.

Installation issues / Re: LinuxMCE as DHCP server, NOT gateway!

« on: April 16, 2009, 05:49:33 pm »

I'm new to LinuxMCE, but not new to networking.  Why not setup another subnet for LinuxMCE?  Leave your existing network in place, setup your core, plug the internet facing nic into your current network, give it a static IP address, then plugin either a cheap switch or another wifi ap (with a different SSId and channel) to the internal NIC on the core, then hang all your MDs off that? 

I believe this would also limit traffic on the LinuxMCE network to only media traffic so you should reduce the chance of stuttering or other media issues.

Hopefully this will work because that's what I intend to attempt to do.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.  I'm looking for the KUBUNTU 7.10 install CD images, NOT the LinuxMCE images.  I already have the LinuxMCE images. :-)

After reading the install docs, I see that LinuxMCE will erase my entire machine if I install it from the LinuxMCE disks.  Since I have a perfectly good Ubuntu 8.10 install on my machine that I want to save, I want to install LinuxMCE on another partition and dual-boot, thus, I assume, requiring the Kubuntu 7.10 install CD, installing Kubuntu 7.10 first, the loading LinuxMCE afterwards following the install docs for an existing installation.

Thanks

Installation issues / Kubuntu 7.10 Install Images?

Looked high and low for Kubuntu 7.10 install disks.  End of Life is 18-Apr-09, but they are already gone off the ubuntu servers.  The links in the install docs are dead as well.  Tried http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/gutsy/release/kubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64.iso and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/gutsy/release/kubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso.  Both fail with "The supplied HTTP header is invalid" error.

I can't use BitTorrent since it's blocked at work and my home connection sux.

Anyone got a link to a working copy of the two ISOs I can DL from?

Thx
