<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: Installation Issue</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Is it possible to do create a USB bootable media within the “Try Ubuntu” environment on my computer? If so, I’m guessing I’ll have to download Ubuntu again? Or is there a way to copy the iso right off of the start-up CD onto a USB storage device? -- Mark A. <HR ALIGN=CENTER SIZE="3" WIDTH="95%">From: Jay Boyson <<a href="jboyson.subscriber@gmail.com">jboyson.subscriber@gmail.com</a>> Reply-To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" <<a href="ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:21:54 -0500 To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" <<a href="ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Subject: Re: Installation Issue *USB bootable media On Feb 16, 2011 3:19 PM, "Jay Boyson" <<a href="jboyson.subscriber@gmail.com">jboyson.subscriber@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Try using USE bookable media or rewrite the iso using a slower speed. > > <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto</a> > On Feb 16, 2011 3:15 PM, "Mark Apel" <<a href="mapel@cals.arizona.edu">mapel@cals.arizona.edu</a>> wrote: >> I recently reformatted my Dell 4500S desktop computer (1.76 Gigahertz >> Celeron processor) with Ubuntu 10.10 and despite an error message saying >> certain packages couldn’t be removed, things seemed to work just fine.
