Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD and USB key

[Salome]

Good evening,

After burning the ISO image of ubuntu8.10, if I copy the files from the CD obtained on a USB key that I ask for the start of the PC in the key, it should work, but no, why?

Good: it is a bit more complicated than just copy and paste. Here's a link to guide you ... and it will use the command line in the terminal.

Hello,

Thank you HOOBASTANK, I read the post, but I also found in the new Ubuntu 8.10 distribution utility to create the USB boot.

My problem now is that the BIOS on my PC does not talk to me about boot usb stick.

So I try on the PC of a friend.

Hello: I did not think because I'm on the 8.10 less than a week!). Why not install on the hard disk (it takes about ten gigabytes available)

Hello HOOBASTANK,

I do not install it because I have on my desktop pc Suse 10.0, which goes very well, I hesitate to separate myself even for Ubuntu 8.10, I do not know if I have XP, Ubuntu and Suse on the same PC.

And on my new Dell XPS 1730 with Vista, I can not add or lose the guarantee.

Hello,

if your BIOS does not allow you to boot from a USB flash drive, you can use the loader to load Suse Linux kernel that Ubuntu can use the USB key.

Hello, Could you explain the way to do this to manually in Susa
