How can I make the Ubuntu download bootable from a USB stick without downloading third party software?
Thanks!
Assuming you're on Linux,
sudo su
lsblk
to note which device is your USB.mkdir /mnt/myusb && mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/myusb
(replace b1 with your actual usb device id, /dev/sdb1 in my case)grub-install --force --no-floppy --boot-directory=/mnt/myusb/boot /dev/sdb
(replacing b if necessary)cd /mnt/myusb/boot/grub
wget pendrivelinux.com/downloads/multibootlinux/grub.cfg
Copy the iso to the root of your pen drive and modify the grub.cfg file in order to load the isos from the correct location.
set timeout=10
set default=0
menuentry "Run Ubuntu Live ISO" {
loopback loop /ubuntu-xx-xx-i386.iso linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-xx-xx-i386.iso splash --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
(replace "/ubuntu-xx-xx-i386.iso" with the correct file name)
DONE!
Open a terminal window and enter this command
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
to install Unetbootin from the Ubuntu repositories.
Once added to your system, plug in the flashdrive, launch unetbootin, select the version of *buntu you have already downloaded, and unetbootin will create a bootable LiveUSB drive.
