Oh noes is on a distinguished road

Default Anyone help me get this?

Okay, I have Linux (ubuntu) on a disk now, but I can't do very many things as I don't have Java, Flash Player, stuff like that.

And for some reason I can't install it, this is probably because the cd its on can't be re-writed?

How can I put Linux(Ubuntu) on a disk and it has Java, Flash, etc on it.

:s why are you trying to run ubuntu as a live disk I know it has the functionality but surely a more specialised alternative such as Knoppix which is designed exclusively for disk use would be a better alternative
