Michael:
Could you provide an alternative for people that have no flash installed? Just upload it here for example:
Or tell us with a comment here that we are allowed to upload (read: to convert it from youtube to there, see http://tinyvid.tv/convert to there) it there.
Thanks

Because of the bootmedia. I prefer booting from USB - hybrid or converted to syslinux (for beginners maybe using unetbootin) or network boot. 2 min is extreme... when you installed once from USB/network then you know that you only use a cd/dvd if you can not boot it in another way. Not sure if you could gain a few seconds using aufs, the new U kernels do not have got aufs or unionfs, but the live image is using unionfs-fuse. Compared to Kanotix is definitely lools slow Old pcs can try PLoP Boot Manager, thats needed for one via based s775 oem board - it did not work with s775 intel or nforce3 boards. 45s from USB or 100mbit network is no problem.

There is also no kernel mode-setting at this time for the ATI Radeon R600/700 (HD 2000 series and later) hardware.

Testing Out ATI Kernel Mode-Setting On Ubuntu
Phoronix: Testing Out ATI Kernel Mode-Setting On Ubuntu
Kernel mode-setting for Intel graphics hardware can already be found in the mainline Linux kernel and will be included by default in the release of Ubuntu 9.10 later this year. While Intel's kernel mode-setting support has been maturing in a steadfast manner, this support has not been moving along quite as fast for ATI and NVIDIA hardware. It is possible we will see ATI/AMD kernel mode-setting along with the necessary memory management support enter the Linux 2.6.31 kernel and potentially see this feature appear in Ubuntu 9.10 as an end-user option, but currently this support is still deemed under development. For those with ATI Radeon hardware looking to test out kernel mode-setting, there is now a Launchpad PPA and a LiveCD available for testing out these mode-setting capabilities atop Ubuntu.
