This article describes the use of UNetbootin to burn the installation image of a Linux operating system to a USB flash drive in Ubuntu (Debian-based operation), making the USB drive the installation medium.
First, prepare the target ISO image to burn to the USB drive, copy it to the current operating system (Linux and Windows can use UNetbootin to burn Linux).
Second note that the machine to install the OS needs to boot into the BIOS set boot sequence, so that the order of the USB media is higher than the existing OS, so as to install the operating system burned to the USB flash drive.
1. Download and install the UNetbootin software
sudo Install UNetbootin
2. Insert the USB flash drive to see the partition
sudo fdisk-l
3.umount partition of the target USB drive in the system (assuming/DEV/SDB4)
Umount /DEV/SDB4
4. Format the target USB drive (assuming the FAT32 file system is used)
$ sudo mkfs.vfat/dev/sdb4
5. Start the UNetbootin visualization and burn the prepared ISO file to a USB flash drive.
$ unetbootin
Entering the command above in the shell will expand the visual interface (such as), you can choose to use the various Linux distributions on the Web or the ISO image you have prepared, choose a lot, the operation is very simple.
(It is a demo under Windows, the operating interface under Linux is exactly the same!) )
