Install CD should include samba

[Yves Meunier]

When placing the live CD on a crashed system, Internet is needed to share. This causes some difficulties for saving datas out of totaly crashed crashed systems.

It is impossible to record the local drive onto a DVD.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I think that the live CD shoud be used as system rescue CD.

But I cannot mention enough details to enable a correction. I only see that the CD-Recorder was not recognised by the live CD, even if K3B was installed.

I used a smbfs instead.

Bug description is not clear enough. Please try to describe it more clearly and reopen this bug.

Better late than never...

I think that asking a Internet connection to share filesystem using samba is not a good think. If the packetage "samba" should be included in the CD. Permetting direct share with other computer on a LAN.

Thank you for your suggestion.

However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

I don't see why this isn't a valid bug against ubuntu-meta, even if it does need further discussion.

Importance -> Wishlist

Today the install CD includes clients for both samba and ssh. Both can be used to send the files to another machine.

In Nautilus (file manager), go to File -> Connect to server -> sftp://<ip address>
