<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 &quot;-s&quot;<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>
