Have you ever wished to install a new Linux distribution, but you cannot find any empty CD to burn the image? Oh, wait! Your laptop does not have any CD-ROM drive at all! What should we do now? I occasionally observe that when it comes to Linux installation, one must have an empty CD-ROM or a USB stick to burn/copy the image respectively. In the latter case, when your USB stick is not empty, you have to make a copy of them, prior flashing the image to the stick. Otherwise, your data would be lost! In this post, I would like to present you an alternative installation method for any Linux installation! That means, no more CDs that become obsolete after 6 months (the period between two successive Ubuntu versions) or lost data in your USB stick. The only thing you should have is a working USB stick. The size does not matter actually. As long as the size is greater that 8 MB, it suits for the job! And of course, network connectivity to the machine you are going to perform the installation.
Any Ubuntu you like
As this is my first actual post on this blog, please forgive me for any
