We might be able to help with that.
Current Ubuntu, the main distribution, is 64-bit only. We need to know if your machine is 32-bit or 64-bit, if it is traditional BIO or EFI based, what media you currently have, what you intend to boot from, and what resources you have to load a boot device.

We cannot help you if we are kept in the dark. Some of us CAN do what look like magic, but we need someplace to START!

What can you tell us that might help us help you?
it's not so clear in this case. sry

hi wpeckham,

could you send me it by email and eventually aim out a way to create the bootable with the resources mentioned?

Thansk.

It's impossible to believe

znt@znt-Infoway:~$ man inxi
No manual entry for inxi
znt@znt-Infoway:~$ inxi --help
inxi: command not found
znt@znt-Infoway:~$

I think not. Part of the PURPOSE of LinuxQuestions is to help people even if they dare not ask questions. If someone else has the exact same problem you have, we want the solution HERE where they can find it and solve their problem. Hiding the solution in email would defeat the purpose.

Use your distro's package manager to install it, e.g.
Code:
sudo apt install inxi
That's the easy way, but a better way is to follow the instructions here. This second way gets you the latest version from upstream, instead of a possibly much older and broken version from your distro. The bonus is it can upgrade itself by using its -U switch. Many distros disable -U in their old versions.

"generic" is simply part of a name for kernels built by Ubuntu and its derivatives. 3.8.0-35-generic seems to be too old for your current purpose. How to create a boot disk is described in very many places all over the internet.
