Ubuntu

Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid come with older versions or rdiff-backup, but the current stable version (1.2.2) is in the Jaunty repositories. To install it:
Download and install the .deb file from the bottom of this page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/utils/rdiff-backup
Install the recommended libraries:
aptitude install python-pylibacl python-pyxattr

• To upgrade to the next version: update current version; install update-manager and run update-manager -d

sudo apt-get install curlftpfs
mkdir mntdir #make mountpoint
FTPPW=12345678
FTPUSER=username%40site.org # if contains @ then use %40
sudo curlftpfs -o allow_other,uid=1000 ftp://$FTPUSER:$FTPPW@ftp.site.org mntdir

The uid is needed if you want write access for a non-root user. Find it by typing id at the console.
You will have to edit /etc/fuse.conf to allow_other and also make sure the current user is a member of the fuse group:

adduser andrewf fuse

Add to /init/fstab using:

If you run: mount -t smbfs '\\server\share' /mountdir and get the error: Cannot allocate memory, it is a Windows problem. See: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;177078

Boot up an Ubuntu Live CD (in this case hardy) and run:
sudo passwd root # enter new root password twice
su # enter root password
dist=jaunty
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ubuntu $dist main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ubuntu $dist main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get -y update; apt-get -y --force-yes install clamav
freshclam
# open the desired media from the Places menu to mount it
df #to see what it is mounted as (probably /media/disk)
cd /media
clamscan -r -l /var/log/clam

The following worked for me:
apt-get install libgif4
wget http://katana.oooninja.com/f/software/odf-converter-integrator-chocolate_0.1.4-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i odf-conv*.deb
vi /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection/Types/MOOXTypeDetection.xcu # and modify this line:
<prop oor:name="URLPattern"><value>*.docx *.DOCX *.docm *.DOCM</value></prop>


My process is to create the VM under Ubuntu/Hardy and then move it across
