I really do not know whether this should be in Q&A or Open Source. Anyway here goes:

I want to install a regular Ubuntu distro to my ASUS eeepc 1000H
This pc has a regular 160 GB hard disk drive
My question is

Can I make a bootable USB with this tutorial
*www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/11/01/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/
and then install to my pc just as I would from a live CD?

I have been using this tutorial for creating bootable USBs: *www.teamteabag.com/2008/05/17/howt...4-hardy-heron-or-most-other-distros-from-usb/

I installed KUbuntu 8.10 and 8.10 DVDs by following the 3-4 steps mentioned in this link. Except for the extraction part it is very easy. Extracting the files from the iso image to USB takes around 1 hour in my case.

Doesn't Ubuntu have something like this?

Sorry I haven't used Ubuntu in many years.

Hitboxx, that's exactly the link I posted for Ubuntu

I just want to know if I can use it for installation or only as a live usb?
Can I install it on my eeepc as it has a hard disk and not a ssd, or do I HAVE TO use one of the eee remixes?

By the way, which fedora has that, the live cd? looks interesting

Haven't checked it yet .I will only ruin my MDV installation for something like F10

@nucleuskore, This in on F10 but it is there since F9 IIRC.

I think it can be used as an installation media also.

thanks everyone
