RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] Driver for USRP1

[Frank Rawlins]

Thank you for your reply John.  However, I think you might have thought I meant copying data.
 
In a typical setup with a complete clean hardrive (nothing installed) I would first install the operating system, in this case UBUNTU 9.04.  I then go the appropriate site to copy all the links and associated programs for USRP to work this can take up to 1 hour usually with problems.  Once everything is running well I want to copy the total image of this hard drive on to a DVD.  The DVD can then be used to install the operating system plus all associations on another clean hardrive.  Therefore,  being completely independent of the internet to install USRP on a new PC.
 
Hope this makes sense.
 
Frank
