I need help installing Kubuntu from an USB stick. I started to install Gentoo on the computer, but I realized it was too much work. I have already installed GRUB (v. 0.97) into the MBR, partitioned and formatted the hard drive to ext4, but the kernel I built won't boot the computer.
So, I have copied the files from the Kubuntu 10.10 CD image to an USB-stick, toggled the bootable flag on, but when I try to boot directly from the USB-stick I just get BIOS error message. If I instead I boot from the computer's hard drive I can get to the GRUB menu, press 'c' to enter command line mode and then view the contents of the USB stick. But I have no idea how to go from there. This is what I have tried
to get to the Kubuntu CD directory.
Then to load the kernel and initrd (which seem to be located in a directory called 'casper'):
Then I type
(sdb1 is the label of my Kubuntu USB-partition).
I then get into the intramfs command line. What should i do next? Help me out, please!
