Kubuntu netbook installs no cd drive.

[Guest]

I'm looking at one of the various nebooks that boasts internal hard drive, but no CD drive. As you may imagine I'd like to find some clear concise info on how to install Kubuntu and remove bundled OS. Thanks.

This lists: # You have a choice of 3 different ways to install Ubuntu.

1. You can burn the .iso file to CD, and use an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from that CD.
2. You can transfer the iso file (and make it bootable) to a USB memory stick/thumb drive using the UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee tool (Windows version/Linux version).
3. You can transfer the .iso file to an SD card (and make it bootable) using the same UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee tool. This method might be the most “painful” - but ars technica has you covered with the instructions.

# This tutorial uses the “transfer to USB thumb drive” method (I happen to have one), and it’s probably the fastest way.
