[Leaplist] Thank you for info on ubuntu remix 9.04

[Stephen Cullum]

I used the dd method. Down load Ubuntu Netbook Remix. 
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook .  Plug in your usb 
which has to be at least 1G. Then open a terminal. Type df, this gives 
all mounted drives. Ubuntu  auto-mounts usb devices. Find out from the 
output what drive your kernel calls the usb drive. There are quite a few 
ways to find this out but df is the easiest. Unmount your drive. Run 
sudo umount /dev/device/node . Leave off the partition number you just 
want the device node. My device was sdc.  Make sure that you use the 
correct device as dd will overwrite  your main hard drive if you use 
that. Run sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/device/node bs=1M  
. Remove your flash media when the command completes (you may need to 
wait a few extra seconds for it to finish).  This may be more info than 
you wanted but someone may want it.
