If you decide to do the same thing and share it, please test and tell us where to get it. I might be able to do this for the x86_64 architecture too, but I won’t be able to test the results, since I don’t have a machine that will boot the stick after it is written. And remember that anything you have on that drive is going to be overwritten. Make sure you change the X to the letter for your USB drive. Once you know the drive label, you can type dd if= of=/dev/sdX Write this to a USB drive by inserting the USB stick, then checking the drive assignment with fdisk -l. But there are no customizations in place, no freaky wallpaper or third-party repositories. The image has been tested on my end, but of course that’s no guarantee it’ll work as planned. Okay, here is the Ubuntu 10.04 desktop ISO for i386, flashed out to a 1Gb USB drive with the Startup Disk Creator, and written back with dd.
Then everyone could share in the quick download and dd it to a drive and just boot. Usually.īut what would be nice is if some kind soul made a bootable USB drive, wrote out the image to a file with dd, and uploaded it.
With that you can usually spit any ISO onto a USB drive and it will start up like a CDROM. That’s a fantastic program and good to have on hand no matter what system you’re using. Unetbootin is an option - and really, it’s more than just an option. For example, in my case I downloaded the ISO, burned it to a CDRW, booted into a live system, and then I could access the disk creator. It’s true, there is a Startup Disk Creator tool that will write out an Ubuntu system to a USB connection, but you still have to get Ubuntu running to get to that point.
But Ubuntu still doesn’t offer an image you can flash to a USB hard drive to make a clean installation with.
