Howto Disable CTRL-ALT-DEL in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Server
Any user that has physical access to the keyboard can simply use the Ctrl+Alt+Delete key combination to reboot the server without having to log on. Sure, someone could simply unplug the power source, but you should still prevent the use of this key combination on a production server. This forces an attacker to take more drastic measures to reboot the server, and will prevent accidental reboots at the same time.

HowTo setup Canon iRC 2880i printer in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
1. Goto System->Administration->Printing
2. Create a new printer queue
3. Select the type of connection to the printer (mine is Windows Printer via SAMBA)
4. Input the printer settings eg: 10.0.0.1/NameOfPrinter and authentication if needed
5. For drivers use Generic->PCL 5c->Generic PCL 5c Printer Foomatic/hpijs
6. Give it a name and you're set to go
If you would also like to print in colour then this is where the fun begins.
You will need the UFR Printer Drivers from Canon .
If you're using the iRC 2880 then you can go straight here
Once you have the drivers and have extracted them then follow these steps.
Note: If you are using a version of Ubuntu that is older than Hardy you should just be able to run the deb file in the Debian folder and then you can skip to step 6
1. If you try and run the deb file in the Debian folder in Hardy it will give a dependency error regarding libcupsys2-gnutls10. So...
2. Run sudo apt-get install alien
3. Go to the extracted drivers RPM directory in a Terminal
4. Run sudo alien -c *.rpm (The -c will include any scripts in the package)
5. Run your newly created deb packages. First the cups common one then the driver one.
6. Follow the intructions above for the setting up of only black & white printing up to and including step 4
7. For drivers use Canon->iR C2880/C3380 UFR II->iR C2880/C3380 UFR II (or whatever model you are using)
8. Give it a name and you should now be printing in colour
In case you were wondering why you get the dependency error in step 1, the reason is that the Debian package was converted from a RPM one, using alien. Alien picked up the dependencies that where present on the system that the package was initially created.

Install Ubuntu 8.04 ( Hardy Heron) without a CD-ROM
1) Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) ALTERNATE .iso (see below)
2) At least 2 partitions on your HD
3) vmlinuz & initrd.gz files from Hardy - NOT the ones included on the .iso (see below)
Steps:
1) Download the ALTERNATE .iso from the Ubuntu download site:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
REMEMBER: mark the "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD." option, on the botton.
2) Download both vmlinuz & initrd.gz files, Hardy's version, from this site:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/
3) Create an /boot folder on your secondary HD partition, and move the alternate .iso and the vmlinuz & initrd.gz from step (2) onto it.
4) If you don't have Grub already installed, install it on a removable media or Hard Disk. Then, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the following entry:
title Install Ubuntu Hardy
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=normal ramdisk_size=149720 root=/dev/rd/0 rw --
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
**(hd0,2) refers to the 1st hard drive 'hd0' and the 3rd partition '2'.
The counting of partitions and hard drives starts at zero. Linux loves making life complicated
Change (hd0,2) to match the drive and partition of your .iso file.
e.g (hd1,3) Refers to drive 2 and partition 4.
5) OK! You are ready to go! Now reboot your system (with the removeable media if you installed Grub on it) and choose the "Install Ubuntu Hardy" entry.
6) Now follow the installation as usual, which should be working as if the disk was in the CD-ROM tray.
