hello,

i'm downloading the .img of Ubuntu Remix cause I'd like to install it on my netbook, a Samsung NC10.

i've seen there is a tutorial to create a bootable USB flash drive but the tutorial is mentioning a linux software (usb-imagewriter) to achieve that.

how can i do that from Windows ?

Thank a lot

Use Unetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/).

It's really straightforward.

I actually installed Jaunty before subsequently downloading the netook interface from the repos.

I'm not sure if there is a difference if you're not using the MID version but I believe they are essentially the same.
