== Software ==
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - DD June 06 release
80 Gig Removable Drive
1.8GHz AMD w/ 512MB RAM
== Problems ==
My major problem was the instelation of my operating system.
The first time I tried to install Ubuntu, they closed the open lab at
5:00 and I was almost done. The second time I installed it I did it at home
had no problems, that I was aware of; I even installed VMware, XP and Visual studios. When I got to school to start the build I was unable to run ubuntu
because I was missing some xserver and there were a few other problems with the X11.
I tried to fix however in tring to repare this I deleted my instelation. and had to start again. The next instelation I did I did at the school and started the build there. The problems continued. I would run the apt-get install and I got dependncy errors when tring to get the lib files and gtk toolkit.
I then tied to install each package independently from the gtk ftp cite I ended up with curcular dependencies. Someone sugessted that it might have been a problem with my instulation and sure enough my CD was bad.
From there I only had two minor problems and that was when I was at the school and I tried to co the source and I was getting a weird error when I tried to do the make -f client.mk checkout I had to add a target to the end.
== Solutions ==
Ubuntu problem:
bought new CD and reburned the image.
target error:
<pre>make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser</pre>
