Vauteh: Installing Ubuntu from a usb pen
2007-02-20T17:13:04Z
<p>Installing Ubuntu from a usb pen</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Install syslinux and mtools.<br />
<br />
Get the mini.iso for example from here<br />
<br />
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/linux/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso<br />
<br />
Create vfat on your usb-pen<br />
<br />
* mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1<br />
<br />
Run syslinux, maybe with "-s"<br />
<br />
syslinux /dev/sda1<br />
<br />
Mount the mini.iso<br />
<br />
* mount -o loop ./mini.iso /media/loop<br />
<br />
Mount the pen to e.g. /media/sda1<br />
<br />
Copy all the files to the pen<br />
<br />
* cp -a /media/loop/* /media/sda1<br />
<br />
Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg<br />
<br />
* mv /media/sda1/isolinux.cfg /media/sda1/syslinux.cfg<br />
<br />
Now you should be able to boot from the pen and install ubuntu. For my X60s the drive should be set from ahci to compatible in the bios.<br />
<br />
PS: I'm very sorry for this stupid looking guide, but I wanted to write it down, so it doesn't get lost. I got to know about it, through a remark from this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - I haven't found a better and simpler way to install ubuntu from a usb pen.</div>
