Kubuntu 7.04 VMware Image

I couldn’t find a VMware virtual machine of Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) anywhere (I needed one for testing Autopackage). So, I created one:

VMware tools are installed. The username and password for the user are “user” (w/o quotes). Security Updates are not installed.

Any of you smart people who know how to use Bittorrent are welcome to setup a tracker.

Note: The directory inside the tarball is called Kubuntu-7.05 (which doesn’t exist). Everything really is Kubuntu 7.04.

NOTE :: I had to remove the file because it burned too much bandwidth (1.4TB!?). If someone can host it, or setup a bittorrent tracker, send me an email (tajmorton@gmail.com).

    You can create torrents with Azureus (java app, open source) pretty easilly. I have never done it, so I’m probably not a better candidate than you but I think it’s pretty straight forward.

    Then I guess you’ll have to make sure someone seeds it 24/7.. If you have shell on wgs then it’s no problem I guess.. I can also seed whenever my machine is up.

    What we should do is host a bunch of good-to-have images. Like some of the most common distros, plus a bunch of old ones to test binary compatibility on. We could pre-load them with svn checkouts of autopackage and various dev tools like gcc, emacs, auto* etc.

    You can get around the 24-7 seeding problem by splitting the file in 100Mb rar files and uploading to rapidshare.com, then just post the links here. We all download the files from rapidshare.com, and you get a free account

    Maybe you can submit it to the vmware site I think they offer hosting

    Thanks for providing this image! Unfortunately I was not able to download it (”500 Internal Server Error”).

    Sorry, I missed the addendum. I can host the file for you if you desire, and you can also use http://www.linuxtracker.org/ for distribution by bittorrent.
