Can't you install it via Synaptic where it'll automatically get all of the require packages?
I've never needed to do this. I used Ubuntu (Natty Narwhal) until the 11.10 update when it became too slow, and I just put Windows XP on it. Now I am dual booting with 10.04. Anyway, the instructions I was following were all command-line based using wget (url)

Well, you still can especially if it has so many dependencies.

Re: Dual Booting
Try this?
SED is temporarily abandoned while I move onto new areas, such as AI with pathfinding, individual reactions, and group communication. More complex projects are also brewing.

Re: Dual Booting
Remember that Torrenting is not inherently bad or illegal, that downloading a Snow Leopard .iso would likely be copyright infringement regardless of whether it is torrented or not.

Re: Dual Booting
I was just assuming that he didn't want to torrent, specifically.

Would it be fine if I created an ISO using the disk?

Yes, that would be legal and fine, I do believe.

Try the Lion Thumb Drive. It's the best way to install Lion without installing Snow Leopard first. It's also legal and is priced similarly to that Snow Leopard DVD.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Re: Dual Booting
I was able to get some version working on Windows XP with VMware Player. It was a torrent and it was modified to work on not-Mac architecture I do believe.

Also pricey, even on eBay.

I'm on Windows 7 with VirtualBox. What torrent did you use, I'm worried that if I choose a bad one I will get a trojan or something.

Re: Dual Booting
I have no idea, sorry. It was a while ago and I've uninstalled and reinstalled uTorrent several times since then.
