Quick Tip: Installing Linux from USB-stick
by Mats Hellman on Nov.25, 2009, under Linux
This is a short tip so I will remember how to do this the next time I need to. It’s not a lengthy article or in-depth howto. Anyway, today I wanted to try out the latest Ubuntu (9.10) on my Lenovo X200s and my docking station was at work so I had no access to a dvd drive.
Installing from a USB-stick should be trivial so I decided to try it out and googled around to find some information on how to put Ubuntu on my Kingston Datatraveler.
Googling I found this wonderful program that, if needed, even downloads the files for you. But since I already had the Ubuntu ISO I could just start up UNetBootin and have it set Ubuntu on my USB-stick.
To do this just download http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and start it. Select your ISO and the destination drive and you’re done. After that you have a fully functional USB Linux.
