- Ubuntu installer
- gPXE (via syslinux)
-
[1] (basically, use rom-o-matic, and get the .lkrn file)
- major fix #1
- you have to use syslinux v4.0+ or later (which, at the time, wasn't available via the Ubuntu repo, so I had to install my own)
- major fix #2
- syslinux, for some reason, doesn't fix up the MBR, so you have to run one of these two commands afterwards:
- install-mbr /dev/sdd
- lilo -M /dev/sdd
- major fix #3
- when Xubuntu starts up, the cdrom-detect script doesn't find our USB stick
- solution #1: this is caused by the /.disk/ directory being missing. Unfortunately, it is all too easy to forget to copy this directory.
- solution #2: add THIS to your kernel parameters: cdrom-detect/try-usb=true
