[Haifux] UBUNTU instalation

[Dave Roi]

Note that if you use these mass installation methods, ALL packages will be
marked as manually installed (as opposed to most of them being
dependencies).
The result of this is that if you later choose to uninstall a package, it
won't uninstall it's dependencies (using aptitude or apt-get autoremove).

Dave.

P.S sorry for the double email.
