Super OS 9.04 (the new Super Ubuntu) is now out!
April 26, 2009
Super Ubuntu has just became Super OS!
And the new version (a remaster of Ubuntu 9.04) is now out!
New features:
*New name: Super OS
*Remaster of Ubuntu 9.04
*Many software was updated (OpenOffice, Furius ISO Mount, Java, Flash, Wine, Firefox, Brasero, Pidgin, GIMP, gufw, Startup Manager, NTFS driver, etc, etc…)
*An official repository is now available (it is now easier to keep your system updated)
*cd2usb is now included on the DVD menu (under Windows)
*apturl support on Opera
*Fixed Ubuntu bug: windows programs weren’t properly associated with wine
*New software: libdvdcss, wine-gecko, App Runner, Gears for Firefox, Moonlight on Opera and on Firefox
Upgrading from Ubuntu and older versions of Super Ubuntu is also possible (but a fresh install is recommended): http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS_Upgrades

PS: thanks to all the suggestions for the new name, I had some good ones (that I might even use in the future!), but I went with Super OS to keep it simple. Cheers to all!

Apologies if this was previously covered, but would you make it possible to put out a Virtualbox version of SuperOS (*.vdi) anytime soon? TIA.
Also, did you do any preconfiguration on SuperOS to allow broadcomm wifi drivers to work properly? (When the kernel changed to the new generic wifi stack, the B43 drivers weren’t available until semi-recently (kernel 2.4.26.x?). Unfortunately, it does appear to be a popular wifi card.

No need to apologize! I am working on a VirtualBox version, should be out in a few days. Also, I have done no modifications regarding any drivers.

Thanks for reporting that, the “1 file missing or corrupt” happens because i forgot to update the md5sum.txt file. That file “missing or currupt” is a non-system file (autorun.inf) – That problem will be fixed on the next release.
Regarding the rest, Ubuntu is probably not compatible with your computer (or just not compatible with your HDD?), because I just installed SuperOS on VirtualBox and did a wubi install and it worked fine.
Try this:
*Try creating a Live USB (with cd2usb or usb-creator)
*Install on VirtualBox (if it works, then it is a problem with your computer)
*Try the original Ubuntu 9.04 (if it works, please report it so I can investigate further)
Good luck

Its me Again Bill just a note redownloaded the 9.04 and burnt with K3B on a -dvd Worked just great using it as I type. Not sure what happen or why had burnt the other ones that I could not get passed the partition table were +dvd.
Cant figure out why but as long as it works. Had super 8.10 done a fresh install still using the ext3. Sorry about the problem must inform you your dealing with a guy that is older than dirt.
