One-line command to download Ubuntu ISO?
- by James Mitch
I want to download an Ubuntu ISO, preferably over bittorrent, and verify its integrity.
Currently, the following steps are required:
start web browser, go to ubuntu.com, find download link
find gpg signature for the checksums
get the gpg key to check gpg signature of the checksums
wait until download finished
gpg verifiy
checksum verification
Isn't there a simpler way? Just like
apt-get install 12.04-64bit-ubuntu-iso
apt-get install 12.04-32bit-server-iso
etc.?
Of course, apt-get (or whatever it would be called) should download over bittorrent to remove load from the servers.
If it doesn't exist, it should probable post that at ubuntu brainstorm? Is there already such a tool? I wanted to ask before posting to brainstorm.
