[DC LoCo] Installing ubuntu from usb

[Greg Reagle]

Interesting question.  I've only installed Linux from CD and 3.5"
diskette (needless to write, diskette was several years ago).

 

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has a section called
"Installation without a CD".  I don't know which method is easiest or
fastest since I haven't tried any.
