One pendrive for all PC (Intel/AMD) computers

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi Lubuntu users,

I made a compressed image file from an Ubuntu iso file and a Lubuntu iso
file. The intention is to have one USB pendrive, which can boot the vast
majority of computers, 'a Swiss Army Knife'. It is described in this
tutorial thread at the Ubuntu Forums

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2259682

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit: works with 64-bit processors in UEFI and BIOS
mode - for new and middle-aged computers.

Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 32-bit: works with 32-bit processors and 64-bit
processors in BIOS mode - for old and middle-aged computers. The boot
option forcepae extends it to Pentium M and Celeron M processors that
lack the PAE flag.

Lubuntu is booted via the syslinux interface of Ubuntu - it seems almost
seamless.

You can download it from

http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/dd_images/dd_Ubu64Lubu32-4GB.img.xz

and install it with mkusb.

-o-

If you are interested, you are welcome to extend it with other, maybe
lighter distros, or make it more efficient ... the recipe is in the
tutorial ;-)

Best regards
Nio
