Setting 'try Ubuntu' as default

[Vulpus]

When booting into Ubuntu on USB I get asked if I want to 'try Ubuntu' or Install. I don't want to install as I am using this on different PCs. Can I do something to remove this question every time.

I believe you need a persistent usb install.

Yeah, annoying indeed. So I'll be following this thread to see if it gives a solution.

Method 1 should be what you want.

To bypass the try/install screen on a persistent install replace the contents of the file syslinux.cfg with:


default persistent
label persistent
say Booting a persistent Ubuntu session...
kernel /casper/vmlinuz
append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper persistent initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash noprompt --

Boot time will be reduced by about a third.
