Ubuntu - Ubuntu 5.10 Released

The Ubuntu team is proud to announce Ubuntu 5.10. This is the official Ubuntu 5.10 release, and includes installation CDs, live CDs, and combination DVDs for three architectures.

I downloaded the latest x86 version this week for kicks. I liked the previous version but I seem to remember having trouble booting the live version on one of my PCs. This version did not have a problem with my PCs. It did seem to run slowly on the AMD3000 PC but I suspect the AMD version would be much faster. The menus are almost identical to my version of Fedora FC4.

To mount my existing Fedora LVM I used the following commands:

sudo mkdir /media/hdb
sudo lvdisplay
sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /media/hdb

To mount my existing NTFS partition I used the following commands:

sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222

    I finally tested my main workstation. It is an old 677 MHz PC with a 3dfx Voodoo3 video board. Ubuntu set it up for 640×480. Seeing that big arrow mouse pointer was a real flashback. The biggest problem I had was remembering how to get into setup on the Intel motherboard so I could put the CD-ROM back into the boot check. The answer is: press and hold F2 during the boot.
