How to boot ISO/Ubuntu off thumb drive?

penguinHugger · 12-16-2008, 04:22 PM

I have an empty 8 Gb thumb drive, I have the latest Ubuntu ISO (8.10), and I have an Asus Eee Pc. How can I boot the ISO off of the thumb drive and install Ubuntu on the Eee? I have successfully booted an ISO off of a thumb drive before but don't remember how. However, I thought that I just had to format the drive to vfat, and copy the ISO over.

Thanks for the help

bye.

well tbh you'd have got a quicker response if you just googled "ubuntu boot usb". that's all i did.

Sorry. I'm usually a very proficient Googleizer, just didn't think I get anything so I didn't try. I wont make that mistake again.

Thanks all the same, Kyoto. (video game reference; Defender) :-)
