You can plug it into any computer to run Linux directly from the device, or use it to install Linux on that computer. Now that Linux has been installed on the USB device, you can make use of it in two different ways. A progress bar indicates the remaining time and the current state of the copying process. Installation of the Linux distribution on the device takes time, especially if the device is not that fast. And since I have not reviewed that program yet, I made the decision to use that program to install Linux on my notebook. The program is still around and updated regularly to include popular Linux distributions.Ī friend recommended a similar program called Universal USB Installer which offered a similar functionality.
I remembered that I have reviewed UNetBootin, the Universal Netboot Installer, in 2008. But how do you get the Linux installation files on the USB device and ensure that Linux can be booted and installed from the device?
The Acer laptop comes without optical drive, which means that I have to install Linux from an USB device. I'm not using the device that often, actually only if I'm on holiday, and I thought it would be a good way to start fiddling around with a Linux desktop OS. Instead of continuing to use Windows 7 as the operating system I have decided to install the latest Ubuntu on the notebook. I just got the replacement battery for my Acer Aspire 3810T and decided to make a clean cut.
