Subject: [PLUG] Installing Linux from USB keys
Art's recent thread prompts me to ask, everyone knows about Ubuntu's
'usb-creator', right? It is available for 8.04 and installed by default
in 8.10 and newer.
Jaunty calls it System-->Admin-->"USB Startup Disk Creator"
Intrepid calls System-->Admin-->"Create a USB startup disk"
https://launchpad.net/usb-creator
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
It's a GUI app that "burns" any given ISO to a bootable USB stick
(assuming your hardware and BIOS can boot USB). It's drop-dead simple
to use. You can even boot a LiveCD and use that CD to burn to the USB
(see "Live USB creator" in the "FromUSBStick" URL above)! Great, simple
little tool.
Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
