Ubuntu

I am building an image to host my web site.

Ubuntu 8

This is trialled on the Mac

sudo apt-get install smbfs sudo apt-get install bzr

Ubuntu 9

I have two U9 images, one on the Mac and one on my new works laptop, YANF Dell.

Now the Mac has WINE?, how did I install that? Did I use Synaptic Package manager.

On the Dell instance, it seems this doesn't come with apache installed, or at least not apache 2. I used synaptic to download and generate the script file. However, I really need to work out the syntax of the /etc/apt/sources.list; my local solution doesn't do the updates, although I could cronjob it. (Probably not the generated statements seem to be version specific.)

Ubuntu 9 Server

Oops this doesn't have X, so how do I build a server image in side a VBox VM.

Firstly I need to install guest additions, which needs the build essential and linux-headers packages

# apt-get install build-essential
# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.18-11-generic

NB I learnt the exact argument token by runing the guest additions install and failing, reading the error message which states which kernel was running and then by running

# apt-get install linux-headers

which told me which versions were available

# # Mount the cdrom, does the mount point exist in a server build
# mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom

I updated the Distro before I ran the "Guest Additions" installation script.

# apt-get update
