In my previous experiences installing ubuntu from a live*, there always was some 'install'-icon at the desktop. Right now, I'm trying to install Ubuntu from a liveUSB, which does not supply such an icon.
Is there any way I can install from the commandline or at startup?
I get a text-prompt for choosing the kernel image to load at startup, with afaik 3 choices (booting the liveCD, doing a checksum or checking the memory)
Thanks!

Here's a good tutorial (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Install_Ubuntu) and it compares how you install in text mode versus graphical mode.

Thanks! It is a good tutorial.
However, it does not adress the problem I am having.
* The first step of this tutorial is to select the loading method from a series of options, in a graphical manner (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/thumb/2/2c/Screenshot-Ubuntu_install_prompt.jpg/320px-Screenshot-Ubuntu_install_prompt.jpg).
-- I have a text-based interface here, in which I can select only to boot either the livecd or do a memory or md5 check, not unlike this image (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TNVlo8-kzOA/Sa1mK3JCnWI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/KFxTZDZZzBc/s320/Super_Ubuntu_boot_menu.png).
* The second step of this tutorial is to click the 'install' icon (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/images/thumb/2/27/Screenshot-Ubuntu_livecd.jpg/320px-Screenshot-Ubuntu_livecd.jpg), which I do not have.
The only thing I need to make it work, is the command the 'install' button is performing, or some option in the textbased startup screen
