MinimalCD, maximum effect
January 21, 2008
Very well hidden within the ubuntu wiki, I found this little (literally) gem. Possibly, this is the solution to a very nasty install failure I had today due to a cdrom error: (Please insert the disk labeled: Ubuntu 7.10_Gutsy Gibbon_-Release i386 (20071016) in drive /cdrom/). From what I see of people running into this error on the net, something seems to be seriously amiss. Good luck figuring it out, I’m hoping to evade the problem with this MinimalCD.
Afterpost: I tested it IRL, and it really is the alternate, including lvm+cryptdisk stuff! To whomever came up with this bright idea: THANK YOU!
