Hi Tod @ s, what you would like to take your Ubuntu 8.04 anywhere?. Because instead of carrying a CD / DVD
that occupies space and can scratch or break, it is best that will transport a Pendrive
. this Web explain how to install Ubuntu on a Pendrive or External Hard Drive, but this time what we do will create a bootable Pendrive we will install the OS on any device and also can make use as a tool of of Data Recovery in Equipment Damaged with the
boot. will need the following:
A
A copy of Ubuntu 8.04.A copy of SYSLINUX.
1 .- First, we must download the image of Ubuntu Linux, from the official website of Ubuntu
2 .- We can download the Syslinux utility for Windows.
3 .- Copy the contents of the CD of Ubuntu Linux we recorded our Pendrive or USB drive (no need to empty, just enough space or partition Free). 4 .- Decompress (in a folder) Syslinux.zip and execute it (from a DOS Console) against our USB device from the directory where we Syslinux (if your USB device is F: the command is syslinux.exe-f F:) NOTE:
do not think it necessary to explain how to open the console
5 .- Copy these files to the root of our Pendrive :
- vmlinuz (found in the directory casper \\ vmlinuz ).
- initrd.gz (found in the directory casper \\ initrd.gz ).
- syslinux.cfg
and changed it to:
DEFAULT vmlinuz
bootlogo
gfxboot gfxboot-BACKGROUND
0xB6875
AAPPEND boot = casper initrd = initrd.gz ramdisk_size = 1048576 root = / dev / ramrw quiet splash -
A GREETING.
PUDI. 3 .- Copy the contents of the CD of Ubuntu Linux we recorded our Pendrive or USB drive (no need to empty, just enough space or partition Free). 4 .- Decompress (in a folder) Syslinux.zip and execute it (from a DOS Console) against our USB device from the directory where we Syslinux (if your USB device is F: the command is syslinux.exe-f F:) NOTE:
do not think it necessary to explain how to open the console
- of MSDOS in Windows anyway:
- Menu - Accessories-MSDOS or that way:
- Menu - Run and type: cmd (cmd
- means Windows Command Prompt).
5 .- Copy these files to the root of our Pendrive :
- vmlinuz (found in the directory casper \\ vmlinuz ).
- initrd.gz (found in the directory casper \\ initrd.gz ).
- syslinux.cfg
(rename the file isolinux \\ isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg and copies it to the root of the Pen).
6 .- Edit syslinux.cfg so vmlinuz and initrd.gz point to root directory of the USB device :
DEFAULT / casper / vmlinuz
bootlogo gfxboot gfxboot-BACKGROUND 0xB6875
AAPPEND file = / cdrom / preseed / ubuntu.seed boot = casper initrd = / casper / initrd.gz ramdisk_size = 1048576 root = / dev / ramrw quiet splash -
6 .- Edit syslinux.cfg so vmlinuz and initrd.gz point to root directory of the USB device :
DEFAULT / casper / vmlinuz
bootlogo gfxboot gfxboot-BACKGROUND 0xB6875
AAPPEND file = / cdrom / preseed / ubuntu.seed boot = casper initrd = / casper / initrd.gz ramdisk_size = 1048576 root = / dev / ramrw quiet splash -
and changed it to:
DEFAULT vmlinuz
bootlogo
gfxboot gfxboot-BACKGROUND
0xB6875
AAPPEND boot = casper initrd = initrd.gz ramdisk_size = 1048576 root = / dev / ramrw quiet splash -
7 .- eject the pendrive and connect to your notebook.
