Yes you can. Just use your package manager - Ubuntu is based on Debian, so that would be /apt-get/ - to install the necessary packages, and it will pull in the dependencies for you. man apt-get .... for further instructions on how to use it. ;-) -- *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)

If you wanted to install a Window manager why didn't you say so (which is not the same as Webmin, which, is a remote server configuration tool via http, at least last time I checked)? You're confused. In your OP you asked something, quite incoherent, dunno exactly what. That's why I pointed you to a document helping you to better formulate your question in order to get help. We're not mind readers, you know. Heck, I even used the word "please" in my post. > Finish! Apparently so. -- Jon Solberg (remove "nospam" from email address).

From his address, I'd guess his first language is Italian. news, I think you want to *incorporate* a graphical component into your Ubuntu CD images, and have it installed automatically. Is this correct? Getting such a component into the installation CD itself is trickier than simply using "apt-get" or its friendly graphical tool, "synaptic". synaptic You'd need to make a copy of the contents of the CD with tools like 'mount' and 'rsync', add the new components, incorporate it into the CD directories in a way that 'apt' and the installation tools would find it, and burn a new CD image with tools like 'mkisofs'. It's a lot of work. There are probably good tools on Ubuntu to do just that sort of overall task, but I don't know what they are. Frankly, I think you'll be much happier using 'synaptic' after OS installation to give you a friendly GUI for finding and selecting components to install.
