从U盘上安装ubuntu

找不到可以刻录的盘，所以尝试了一下用U盘安装ubuntu。

基本步骤见下文。不过有个问题，我用这个方法可以安装ubuntu desktop，但是安装ubuntu server版本的时候就有问题。

 

1.fire your pc with the ubuntu live cd .

2.When the system comes to its functional state from the system menu select administration and then USB startup disk creator.

3.Make sure your pc boot option is set to USB boot in the bios of your system.

4.Restart your pc and it will run ubuntu 9.10 from your thumb drive.

Note: 2GB USB drive is enough for the installation of ubuntu on the pen drive.For a regular install 8 GB drive is necessary as 4 GB leaves  only a little space.The following steps illustrate a persistent install on USB drive.

1.Download the linux .iso file which is the ubuntu 9.10 .iso image.

2.Download the USB Installer For Ubuntu program from the address. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/u910/USB-Installer-for-Ubuntu-v0.2.exe .（现在貌似已经改名叫做universal usb installer）

3.Follow the instructions on the screen and wait for installation to complete.

4.Reboot the system and set the bios to boot from USB drive .

Now you will be booting your ubuntu 9.10 live cd to which you can make persistent changes.
