- Instructions from [1] for Ubuntu Linux are shown here
- Use Startup Disk Creator to make a bootabl USB disk from an ISO File.
- If USB disk is not formatted, use Disks utility to format it. I formatted an 8GB disk to ext4, which is linux compatible only.
- Screenshots:
Everything looked ok until this point:
After I typed in my root password, I got an error message that the bootloader failed to install.
I tried running the USB anyway. Got to the boot choices screen, selected to boot from USB, but the new system did not load. Got a blank screen, nothing further happened.
Alternative way for console
You can install the .iso file to a usb using just one command from the Terminal:
- sudo dd if=[iso file] of=[destination device]
where "iso file" is the source .iso file, and "destination device" is the file that was attached to the USB for example /dev/sdc1. If you do not know the device file, you can check it with the command "dmesg".
