How to Boot & Install Ubuntu Ibex From a USB Thumb Drive
Ubuntu released the Intrepid Ibex alpha 6 for public testing last week. If you want to install and test the new Ibex on your system, but do not want to burn the iso file into a CD (either because your computer does not has a CD-ROM or you find it a waste to burn into a CD that you might use only once), here’s a neat way to create a bootable USB thumb drive where you can use it to boot up Ubuntu Ibex and install it in your system.
The application in use here is UNetbootin. UNetbootin stands for Universal Netboot Installer and it allows the installation of various Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive, without the CD. It’s no different from a standard install and can be used to create a dual-boot install, or replace the existing OS entirely.
