| wubi | <reply> Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and Windows, and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. | tonyyarusso Added on: 2007-04-25 03:06:00 Last edited by dax Last modified: 2016-07-06 16:33:06 Requested 1927 times |
| please helpme needhelp | <deleted><reply> Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | LjL Added on: 2007-04-24 03:08:34 Last edited by AlanBell Last modified: 2014-03-19 19:48:28 Requested 1462 times |
| kompozer | a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. Note that there is a GTK incompatibility in !Intrepid and !Jaunty, so users of those releases should use the !PPA at https://launchpad.ne…rchive/ppa instead. | tonyyarusso Added on: 2007-04-23 01:47:58 Last edited by tonyyarusso Last modified: 2009-10-24 19:23:53 Requested 169 times |

| debootstrap | used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.…trapChroot for more information | LjL Added on: 2007-04-22 15:12:30 Last edited by Hobbsee Last modified: 2008-01-02 14:49:58 Requested 115 times |
