This is actually quite easy.
Follow the below steps.
- In Linux go to a terminal and type the following
sudo apt-get install usb-creator - Type your root password.
- Insert and mount a USB key. In the majority of times the USB key will automatically be mounted by the system.
- Go to the system menu, then to administration and then finally to start up disk creator.
- Point the creator to the ISO that you’ve downloaded.
- Point the creator at the USB key that you want to use. Be aware that you do not need to use the erase button. I did this thinking that I needed to first remove the content on that disk before the process could continue however what it actually does is unmounts the partition. This is not what you’d really want.
- Now just use the button called Create start up disk and wait for the process to finish.
That’s really all there is too it.
How do you control these when installing? Preceed? serial Console? Sighted people? I want to install ubuntu onto fresh boxes but not sure best way to do this, debootstrap?
I’m not entirely sure what you mean. When you boot Ubuntu from USB or CD just start Orca normally. At the boot screen i.e, while still in Grub, press f5 then 3 and enter. That does it.
If installing the server system. I.e, you don’t want the GUI then installing over SSH works very well.
the following guide is a good starting point: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole
