 bigcalm: go for Saucy then, it's the current version
<MooDoo> 13.10, then you can upgrade when it's released, unless your a die hard and like to play :D
<bigcalm> Ah, dailey-live. I was searching the cdimage site but didn't really know where to look
<MooDoo> I just llike to use LTS releases as I'm not bothered about cutting edge tech for what I use
<bigcalm> MooDoo: I realise that, I wanted to see how well +1 worked out of the box :)
<MooDoo> ah there you go then :)
 * bigcalm curses his desktop's wifi - limiting the download to 4ish MB/s
<MartijnVdS> bigcalm: you should talk to knightwise ;)
 * foobarry has been virused.
<MooDoo> foobarry: oooops
<MartijnVdS> foobarry: what kind?
<darrenflaherty> drussell, hi
<Myrtti> -22C and I need to go get some food and mail a letter X-|
<foobarry> MartijnVdS: headache/high temp/pains/cough
 * foobarry crawls back to bed
<MooDoo> ah not computer virus lol
<bigcalm> foobarry: I seriously thought you meant a computer virus. Doh. Get well soon
<MooDoo> bigcalm: you're not the only one :d
<darrenflaherty> jnick_tait: hi
<bigcalm> Right, how does one transfer the 14.04 ISO onto a USB stick in Linux? The Startup Disk Creator keeps on failing me
<MartijnVdS> bigcalm: dd
<MartijnVdS> bigcalm: dd if=isofile of=/dev/sdX
<bigcalm> That all?
<MartijnVdS> bigcalm: it's a hybrid image, which works (and boots) in CD-ROM mode (BIOS and UEFI) and USB stick mode (also BIOS and UEFI)
<bigcalm> Fair enough :)
<bigcalm> sdc
<bigcalm> dd if=Downloads/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc
<bigcalm> Nice and simple
<directhex> clearly the tech was stolen from Ye Olde SteamOSe
<bigcalm> Heh
<MartijnVdS> directhex: obviously, where else?
<directhex> (note: THIS IS A JOKE, THE REVERSE IS TRUE)
<bigcalm> Before turning the new laptop on, I have already replaced the windows8 HDD with a blank SSD
<bigcalm> Now to see if the image boots
<bigcalm> dd says that it's finished its work yet the USB stick is still flashing :S
<MartijnVdS> bigcalm: cache!
<MartijnVdS> maybe waiting for 'sync' helps?
<bigcalm> Ye
