Script for automatically using Kubuntu from USB, in windows (updated)

Instructions: We download the file with the tools, we unzip them in some directory, and run kubuntu810.bat. We choose drive letter, we choose architecture, and done! We need to do nothing more. The script itself downloads the ISO file if you don’t have it.

Keep in mind that you must choose a drive being the first physical partition on the device, and it must have a FAT filesystem bigger than 750MB…

I think it could not be easier!!

Why am I publishing this? And so short? Well, yesterday I was told something off…

“What a boring post, Kubuntu-USB post! Why don’t you put commands and nothing more? Don’t you see nobody will read it this way?”

Ok, ok, ok… You don’t need to get mad at me 😀 ACK. Hands on work…

I’ve taken PenDriveLinux instructions, published for Ubuntu, USB Ubuntu 8.10 install from Windows, and I’ve adapted it for KUbuntu. I’ve added some little things, such as choosing 32 or 64 bits architecture, and allowing the use of a proxy for the ISO downloading part (apart from adding a “-f” to syslinux command, because I was getting “Not a removable drive” error).

Update 5/11
PenDriveLinux has done it, with this article, so I no longer have the exclusive 😛
