Install Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon from a USB FLASH

For those who want to install Ubuntu 7.10 without a CD-ROM can use a USB FLASH as an alternative, a prerequisite PC must support booting from a USB port and USB flash with a minimum capacity of 1 GB.

To create a bootable USB could be in need syslinux bootable maker or other software, I use syslinux to make a bootable USB because the application already exists direpository Ubuntu.

Syslinux to install the application on Ubuntu can be done directly from the terminal console:

$ Sudo apt-get install syslinux mtools

After the installation process is complete and then mount the USB, there is usually a USB partition on / dev / sdb or / dev/sda1, and the mounting media in the folder with the usb the folder name or the name of USB label, to see a USB hard disk and partition can be a way:

$ Sudo fdisk-l

to create can be as Flsh USB with syslinux bootable enough of this type the command in the terminal console

$ Sudo syslinux-s / dev/sda1

then copy all the files on the Live CD Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Ribbon" into the USB

$ Sudo cp-rp / media / cdrom / * / dev/sda1

After the file copy process is complete, rename the folder isolinux to syslinux, syslinux folder in the file name change became isolinux.bin and isolinux.cfg syslinux.bin and syslinux.cfg

When the Windows download files from the syslinux http://freshmeat.net/redir/syslinux/10177/url_zip/syslinux-3.51.zip

Then extract into the directory C with syslinux name. At the command prompt windows go into the directory c \: syslinux \ win32, use the following command to create a bootable usb disk can: syslinux-s F: (assuming the usb drive in F), then copy all the files in the Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD into the USB , we recommend using the command:

xcopy / e / h / k d: \ *.* f: (D as a CD-ROM)

Next USB FLASH already can be used as penganti Ribbon Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Live CD.
