On 2 February 2007, The first action that i should do it soon ..is destroy the fucking bundle OS of notebook.Can’t work if i still use Windows, i’m feel cheated by company who sell laptop including OS which i don’t use it
(except for free OS, not commercial OS). It feel enforcement to buy a garbage that i don’t need, All i need is the right hardware specification for my job and i can choose the right OS myself. It’s better if they provide 2 different type of pc/notebook, one including OS and other one without OS, with different price of course.

After re-partision hardisk and re-format (and throw the Windows).
Then .. i install Ubuntu 6.10 edgy (last time i used is Ubuntu 6.06).

After OS installed on the notebook, i checked the WIFI and fortunately it work without any extra driver.
Edge has detected for almost all driver (VGA card,Sound Card,Card Reader,Wifi,Bluetooth) except for modem.

For connection to the network i have to set the wifi config, i need wifi-radar for facilitate iwconfig command.

Wifi-radar :
Goto http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/
or download this wifi-radar_1.9.7-0ubuntu2_all.deb

Modem :
download cnxtinstall.run
( and automaticaly download hsfmodem_7.60.00.01full_i386.deb.zip )
I love this method of instalation .. just run cnxinstall.run and it will doing all you need.

Goto menu System > Administration > Software Updates

update the application that i use.

hmmm when booting it took a long time … it’s too slow it slower then Deeper .

so i’m edit /boot/grub/menu.lst

change this line :
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash
became
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro splash vga=792

vga=792 is for wide terminal and i need progress bar and note about what happened when booting, so i delete the ‘quite’ mode.
hmm i found the problem, the problem arise when load S40Networking,

I’m edit file in /etc/rcS.d/S40Networking and replace all command ‘ifup -a’ with ‘ifup eth0′ , it’s took long boot time if you still use ‘ifup -a’.
i was remembered when my friend said Edgy is so slow when it load the networking so i made changed the ifup command

Mail Client :
download thunderbird-1.5.0.9.tar.gz
copy directory .thunderbird in old laptop to new laptop (and .mozilla too for firefox)
and let they upgrade the plugins and extensions by theirselves

install mc from mc-4.6.1.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install
it’s make me blind on the terminal without MC.

copy my old .basrc to new laptop to get color terminal.
I have no idea in edgy there’s no .basrc file like dapper so my terminal is plain black.

And i copy all my data/application from old laptop such us :JDK (Java),Apache+PHP,Postgresql,MySql,iReport,PGAdmin,NetBean,My old www document,Picasa,GoogleEarth,GtkPod etc.

Create my own GDM (i took the picture when i was in Ciwidey):

Changed the Gnome Splash Screen with the picture of bali dancer (i took the picture when i was traveling in Bali)

just for fun .. not more then 5 minute beryl was installed on my laptop, there’s contradiction when i was installed on my old laptop .. it’s so hard .. so long to find how it work.
