Here is the link. Updated to the new one, see below.

IMPORTANT UPDATE on 28/04/10
I built a newer livecd, where I put google chromium, too.

Would it detect the fitpc2i Hitachi HDD ?

[startit_ltd]

Hi,

Normally it is necessary to detect the chipset itself. I have no fit-pc2i in my hand, but I am sure, there is no problem with Hitachi hdd nor Samsung for example.
Any drive which is supported by the bios should work.

Good luck!

great I'll test it today, and give feedback.

[startit_ltd]

Thank you!
Please do it, it seems, the openoffice still on the livecd

Anyway, in general this 9.10 is not the best ubuntu distribution..... my opinion....

It's working great on fit-pc2i
Thanks very much!!!

Any chance of having a custom Ubuntu server 9.10 as well ?

[startit_ltd]

Thank you for your feedback!
I am happy you find it useful

Regarding the server, you mean, using the server release? Only depends on my time....

[axcoco]

I had a bad time trying to make the hdd detected at install.
Your custom cd saved me. Unfortunately on the fitpc2i, I guess only the fitpc linux kernel can make it to be detected.
I wish I could make a custom cd just like you did but for the ubuntu server release. But if you have time for this I think that many people could get use of it:

Do not forget to use the all_generic_ide option at boot time....

Regarding the server release, I do not promise, it will be ready in 1 day, but I keep your mention in my mind.....
I will announce it here, when it will be ready to download....

I forgot to ask what was the user login and password ?
