Someone in Shanghai looking for a working copy of Hardy 8.04

[Frederic Muller]

Hi guys!

I got a friend in Shanghai living North Caozi road who needs a Ubuntu
Hardy 8.04 working CD. Could someone arrange it to be delivered of
handed over to her?

Thanks to let me know.

Hi,

If nobody has this one I can download it today and burn a CD. However, please tell me which release you need (which .torrent file from there: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/).

Best regards,
Julien

Hi ,

I am on Panyu lu, could hand a CD over, but i can t offer home delivery.
What about downloading it?

[Frederic Muller]

Hi Julien and Mark,

My friend actually downloaded it and burnt it but is telling me it
doesn't work. Since she is not technical at all, just fed up with
Windows problems and wants to try Linux.

Needed release is 8.04 .

Thanks a lot and let me know which one of you will take care of handing
over the CD.

Marc & Julien,

I have copied my friend on this email as I am not familiar at all with
Shanghai geography. I think it's better you deal with her directly.

Cecilia: Mark is the one who has the CD but you will have to arrange the
delivery with him. Julien offered to download it and hand it over
himself to your office.

Good luck guys.

Thanks a lot for your help.

It seems like what Cecilia really needs is a guide on how to install & use ubuntu (as Fred already mentioned - she downloaded & burned it into CD...) Anyway, I have an copy too; if she needs any help, let me know!

[Frederic Muller]

Hi Vivicrow,

I guess she definitely needs more help than just a CD, but that's more
difficult for me to ask and I think she can ask questions to the list
now that everybody knows her.

As I said off the list to Julien and Mark, she is a bit busy this
morning at work and can't check her own personal emails. It's really
nice of all of you to have responded so quickly and Cecilia will do the
follo up herself once she is available.

Thanks a lot!

Fred

[marc wood]

Were is your office? can have a look at it on my way home.
Can you be more specific on Cecilia's hardware?

[Ian mitchell]

Hi Fred,

 

Where do they live?  I have a working copy in English.  This station is far away, isn't it?

 

I could get it delivered at a charge.  Write to me direct: mitch...@gmail.com.

 

Could you friend come into the city?

 

Best regards

hi Marc,

Thanks for your reply. Actually my work address is just behind the
DongFang ShangSha. It's the NO.38 north Caoxi Rd. Is that clear for
you to make sure the position? If not please let me know i will
explain it with more details.

[Sha Li Jun]

其实8.04的问题不少， 建议你直接在email里把遇到的问题说出来，或许可以有人
在网络上直接帮你解答了。

Hi there,

 

may you can help me. I'm locking for a website, best webshop, where I can buy counterfeit software. It's not because I really wanna buy counterfeit software, but I need it for business purpose.

Thanks.

[Frederic Muller]

haha.. good luck with that, I doubt anyone will or should help you.

Not the right group to ask I think.

Fred

[Sonny To]

Try using free and opensource software... that will solve your moral
dilemma problem with buying
counterfeit software.

[Frederic...@fco.gov.uk]

Hi Dennis,

 

Can you take me off the diningphilosophers dist list as soon as possible. Unless of course you are planning to limit topics to smart, clean & legal, then please, leave me on. Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks mate

 

/F.

Hi,

I don't have a moral dilema. Only for research reasons I need to
know it. I will not use or buy it.

Thanks!

If it is only for testing purposes then why not go to these computer markets around Shanghai,

sure to have some stuff, someone mentioned Dongchang road.  But dont know where exactly.

But if it is for everyday purposes that is wrong!

Hi Lighting,

Can you tell me which Chinese text type your using? I'm using MS-OE and it
doesn't seem to register, as it's only shown as scrambled text? It shows up
correctly when if log into the web. I have no problems with others sending
me Chinese simplified or traditional characters.
Thanks...

Yes I agree with Sonny, use opensource. Started using opensource and
freeware programs awhile ago. There are tons of decent programs out there.
Free from viruses too.

Hado,
Any business it taking a big risk using pirated, illegal, or even closed source software. You'd never know and trust what exactly its doing and more so would be breaking a law copying it.
I would strongly recommend you look at Free and Opne Source software and if you have any specific questions about it, don't hesitate to ask this group.

[Denis Antipov]

What's type of software you're looking for? Is this Office programs or some kind of rootkits? :)

[Ian mitchell]

Could people communicate directly to each other, when they are in a given conversation please.

To avoid flooding others mail boxes.

hi robert:
    you can try google pinyin.

[Robert]

Hi ZHen Yi,

Isn't Google PinYin an inputing software?  I've been using MS PinYin for quite awhile.  In any case I was only curious about the text characters it was showing scrambled on OE Outlook Express for Lighting's particular email.  Also Google PnYin can only write Sinplified Chinese Text.  I sometimes input Traditional Chinese Text.  MSPY is quite handy as it can do both.

Correction,  Google PinYin also supports Traditional Chinese text inputing. 

Just researching and reviewing the program now. 

Ok I've figured out what I need to enable to read the Chinese Characters.  

Thanks for the Google Pinyin tip though...

Hi,

I have started to download "ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso" (I hope you don't need the amd64 or another version...). If nobody answers, I should be able to burn it for you for tomorrow.

Best regards,
Julien

Hi,

thanks. That's the correct version. By the way where are you in Shanghai? because i will go to pick up~

[Lightning]

给这位小姐一个建议： 你在安装ubuntu时，最好把网线插头拔掉。呵呵

原因是ubuntu的cn镜像站的下载流量太大，速度比较慢，而ubuntu installer在安
装时会根据安装者的ip地址去各国的本地源下载本地语言包，这一步动作是自动进
行的，ubuntu installer没有提供取消的选项， 所以安装者在安装到这一步时会
遇上缓慢的下载过程，把网线拔掉后，ubuntu installer会报错并跳过，本地语言
包可以在日后选择一个更快一些的镜像站来安装。

解决方法除拔网线外，还有另一个办法，就是在ubuntu install时，进入后台控制
台环境，手工修改apt-source.list中的源地址，找一个快一点的升级源，现在国
内最快的升级源是 ubuntu.cn99.com。
