@george I'm really looking forward to seeing you compose an official and detailed guide for installing Ubuntu 24.04 via USB2.0

@reallaowu CM5 laptop currently only supports USB 2.0

@reallaowu
Yes, thank you, I did that.

@george
I bought a new USB2.0 stick, my laptop entered into 24.04 after restarting, however I couldn’t find my previous downloaded img file in the harddrive , even the harddrive is mounted .
What should I do next step? Where can I find the Img file and copy it to the usb?

@reallaowu
Had you installed it successfully? You’re highly appreciated if you could share your detailed steps.

@george
#1 Done
#2 Done
#3 Done
#4 Failed.
It cannot reboot successfully from USB, even I tried many times with the instruction” quickly press the power button many times, no less than 8 times”
#5 To be continued

Could you please hep to fix step 4 ?

@george Could it be possible to offer a detailed step-by-step user manual for installing a Linux system through a USB stick without the need to connect to additional x86 computers or laptops?

@reallaowu Could you please share your step by step procedures after you successfully installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS via USB stick?

@george Wow, it's so great !

@george It looks pretty good ! Hope it will go live by the end of May.
