I would love to dump XP and use Ubuntu Remix instead. This has been quite an ordeal trying to get this to run from a USB and very disappointing.
First, the website instructions are for an img file which doesn’t exist. I had to determine this through searching online as I thought the instructions would be at least accurate.
Second, I used instructions from pendrivelinux which only creates a USB that says “Could not find kernel image: /casper/cmlinux”
Third, used Ubuntu 9.10 desktop and usb-creator. Could not use the iso file from ubuntu.com. Searched online and found this bug saying its corrupt: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/500526
After two days, I cannot even get Remix to run and I don’t feel very comfortable in replacing my slow bloated XP anymore...
Has anyone got this working at all?
