How To Create a Bootable USB Drive with Ubuntu 11.04

Since I made the post for 10.10 here, I decided to update it with the process for 11.04. Honestly it’s not any different.

This is being done on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine and the USB drive is a 2GB Kingston. Its older, but more than sufficient for the job.

I hope this helps anyone having issues with this process. If you have any questions feel free to comment.

Well it has been a while but not all is lost.  Most recently i was quite surprised to hear that many people have problems with this.  Since it is pretty simple I figured it was a good opportunity to explain the process.  Sure Natty is out now, but I figure many folks will still find this relevant.  This is being done on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine and the USB drive is a 2GB Kingston. Its older, but more than sufficient for the job.

Well it’s good to know that updates bring change.

Many times change brings about a better way of doing things.  Other times it may bring change to old familiar ways and we may not like them.  Take the moving of the Gnome window buttons for minimize, maximize, and close.

The latest version of Ubuntu decided to move these buttons to the left side of the window.  This isn’t so strange.  Many OS’s over the years have had the close button on the top left, but rarely the other buttons.  I understand that Microsoft Windows has set the position on the right and when I adopted Windows as a OS I quickly became quite familiar with this method and today, take for granted their position since both KDE and Gnome Desktops for Linux did the same thing.   However as of Ubuntu 10.04 it’s now on the left.

Something I heard about last week but haven’t had time to put up here is the “God Mode” feature.  If you want to have a common area to access all your settings features, rather than navigate in the normal Control Panel method you may find this mode to be a bit of a time saver.

To enable simply Create a New Folder and name it this:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

That will change the folder icon to a Control Panel icon and will then give you direct access to all the features in a simple list format.  If you prefer having the short explainations they will be missing.

So far no comments from Microsoft about this.  Enjoy.
