Thanks for the comments…

@CA: I have checked the download from another machine and it seems fine. Please try again.

@scorp: You should not need an UbuntuOne account to download the ISO – the link should work from anywhere.

@doctorevil30564: we used to sell stickers, but our stores keep getting closed down. This isn’t really Canonical’s fault, but the paranoia of the online shops such as CafePress and Zazzle. They’re so worried about getting sued I guess that they shoot first and ask questions later.

hey, Ubuntu used to give out stickers with their disks, is there any chance that you’ll make Ubuntu Satanic Stickers available? Put me down for a few.

would love to have the designed for ubuntu satanic edition ones to cover up the designed for windows xp sticker on my laptop

and I’d pay for it too!!

Just a thought as my netbook needs satanifying i have windwos on it and had no way to get your ISO as its only on ubuntu one – forced me to get reg ubuntu live cd just to run it just get ubuntu se iso – more people will use this ediiton of ubuntu se if windows folks had a non-ubuntuone option Mediafire is good.

Hi Duck,

The image currently has updates up to about a week ago, any additional updates are available through the update manager.

As for USB persistence, I haven’t tried it with this exact image, but don’t know of any reason why it won’t work. I’ll give it a try. However, I’m not a big fan of a persistent USB install. I guess it depends on what you’re going to use the USB stick for. If it’s intended for use as a medium for installing SE onto a number of PCs, then that kind of install would be OK, but if you want a fully functional system running from USB and the ability to install updates and save files, you’re much better off doing a full install to the USB stick. Simply select the USB drive as the install destination, but make sure you select the correct GRUB device in the advanced options. As long as you have a USB stick >= 4GB you should be fine.

Nice!

Garry, two suggestions:

Keep the image updated with recent packages, you can do this by chrooting to the source from which you package the squashfs and aptitude update && aptitude upgrade, but you knew this

Make it compatible with persistence. I didn’t manage to do this in an easy manner, but I’ve got very little experience with mastering live CDs. I tried to fool the usb-creator with a regular lucid-installasjon and then overwrite the casper-directory with the squashfs from the Undead CD, but it seemed to lack support for the unified fs.

Thanks for a nice effort!
