I have a working installation of Ubuntu 9.04, including a driver for the Broadcom wireless driver in the laptop. This computer also has Windows XP, FreeBSD and OpenSuSE 11.2.
I have decided that I'd like to get rid of FreeBSD and Open SuSE and use the disk space reclaimed for Ubuntu and XP. The problem I have is that neither the 10.04 or 9.10 Ubuntu installation CD will load working Broadcom drivers on my computer (an HP dv5020us).
Is there a way to create a startup USB drive (or CD) from my working installation?
Can I just replace the kernel and driver files from a startup USB with those from my current installation or is there an easier way?
TIA
