So far has been very cooperative! Of course we know that does not count unless it boots up and acts right! Found out that repo generator does not work. Keyservers and all no dice only a few worked. Had to manually apt add repository. Lost an hour on that one!!!! To this point the system is half together and will add with the Gnome 3.8 desktop, which practically gave no hassles at all! For the life of me, I can not remember the repo for k9copy, someone does please list it! Lot of things going on still!!! Had some things to deal with at school and some of those things will still steal my time!!! Was able to get about 3/4 of it assembled. Is closing as I write this(ub-builder) If I am lucky will also have more compiz effects. Hopefully the flames will be back, kind of miss that!!! Not sure how well the laptop will boot it in Vbox but should see within another 15 or more minutes! Provided it works, will once again set off for school, Friday morning to complete it! Is quite an adventure so far! Never assembled in synaptic yet, so is a first! Really just missing a few things and some desktop environments! If all goes well today will get those other environments installed and it should be fairly close to Ultimate, least in the ballpark! Hopefully is not going to be on the bench!!!! Only another day to get this up and going at school,really can not afford to do it at home with Verizon! As have said before, years ago I had cable and pretty much wasted it on useless downloads. Now that I might be able to accomplish something, wouldn't you know I do not have cable!!! A note to anyone using synaptic initially in Ubuntu-builder: Do not hit apply all updates! Kernel gets frazzled if you do that. Update slowly, make sure you get rid of the old initrd and old vmlinuz. Did that this morning and tested well! Still waiting for the results as Laptop takes time! Okay!!!! It boots up, but have no log out option now, course is way too slow moving on the laptop in vbox. Will bring it over here and view it more!!! So would say today has been successful and worth the time!!!! Will get there yet!
