Kubuntu 11.10 Install CD Question

[craig10x]

I was wondering if anyone knows an answer on this one:
If i download the 11.10 desktop 64 bit CD from the Kubuntu site, would i be getting the very same iso that was posted when Kubuntu 11.10 was released, or would it be more updated then the one that was there on the release date?

The reason i am asking is that i downloaded the cd back then and it was rather buggy on the live session (though i know it works fine when actually installed) but a friend of mine wants to run it live for a few days to explore it, and i hesitate to have him do that if he is going to have the same buggy problems while running it...

Thanks

Thanks...i thought so
I think i may try a download of kubuntu 12.04 instead...my thought is that it would have all the updates of 11.10 and from what i have been reading in the posts of those using the 12.04 daily builds is that at least at this point int time, they are pretty stable...perhaps it would work better in live session for him to take a look at it...and then if he likes it, i will give him the dvd of 11.10 to actually install...

Anybody here using one of those 12.04 daily builds? how is it running right now (just curious)...

Thanks Vinny for the report
Yeah...you know something, i had the same thing on the live sessions of both 11.10 and 12.04 in so far as installing kubuntu restricted extras using the muon package manager! It froze when installing the flash player....

You didn't have that problem when you actually installed 11.10 did you?
Also, when you get 12.04 installed on the spare partition...let me know if the restricted extras installed ok on there....

Thanks

It can be something of a gamble whether you'll end up with a build free of dependency problems in the packages. A few days ago I installed a 12.04 mini.iso then tried to apt-get kde-plasma-desktop; it wouldn't install because akonadi-server's various dependencies couldn't resolve (mysql version conflicts). The next day after an apt-get update it installed fine.
