USB-Creator
using USB-creator
Eeebuntu 2.0 (and Ubuntu 8.10/9.04) provide a very simple way to install an operating system to a USB stick.
You can use this system to create a bootable live image of Eeebuntu which you can test on the EeePC before installing it and then, if you like it, you can use to install directly to the EeePC.
Once you have downloaded the Eeebuntu ISO you want to test and install, you will use the utility found in
System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk.</i>
If you cant find it them simply open terminal and type:
Sudo apt-get install usb-creator
This will grab the application for you
How To Prepare The USB Stick
Plug in your USB stick - it should be at least 1GB for the installation to fit.
Start the Create a USB startup disk utility.
The utility may offer to format the USB stick. This will erase all information on the USB stick.
Under the Source Disk Image section of the window, click Other to choose your Eeebuntu ISO.
Allow the utility to create the USB installation stick and then use it to boot the EeePC.
Booting Up
To get the USB to boot simply hit Esc while the Eeepc shows the ASUS logo.... you can then choose your USB drive and Voila! Welcome to the Live CD or just install straight away!
