Extract the contents of the ZIP archive to reach the installer program named MOTU Audio Installer. This installer installs FireWire, USB and PCI audio interface drivers for Mac OS X 10.4.x. Use this installer if you are using Mac OS X 10.4.x. that has been linked above in the article.MOTU Universal Audio Install for Mac OS X 10.4. A download is provided at the developer website. The program is constantly updated with new Linux releases. Users who want to install Linux on a netbook without optical device can use the Universal USB Installer to do that comfortably. The second USB stick that I tried was faster and installation commenced without further problems. The first USB stick that I tried caused a problem during installation, probably because it was not fast enough. It took less than five minutes to download and copy all relevant files on the USB device. The process of copying Linux to an USB device has been pleasant. It is then just a matter of selecting to Install the Linux distribution on the hard drive, or run it from USB device.
The loader of the selected Linux distribution is displayed once you have made the boot order change. The notebook's hard drive is usually the first boot device, and you need to change that so that your USB device comes first and the hard drive second. One thing that you probably need to do is to enter the BIOS setup to change the boot order. You can plug it into any computer to run Linux directly from the device, or use it to install Linux on that computer. Now that Linux has been installed on the USB device, you can make use of it in two different ways. A progress bar indicates the remaining time and the current state of the copying process. Installation of the Linux distribution on the device takes time, especially if the device is not that fast. And since I have not reviewed that program yet, I made the decision to use that program to install Linux on my notebook. The program is still around and updated regularly to include popular Linux distributions.Ī friend recommended a similar program called Universal USB Installer which offered a similar functionality. I remembered that I have reviewed UNetBootin, the Universal Netboot Installer, in 2008. But how do you get the Linux installation files on the USB device and ensure that Linux can be booted and installed from the device?
The Acer laptop comes without optical drive, which means that I have to install Linux from an USB device. I'm not using the device that often, actually only if I'm on holiday, and I thought it would be a good way to start fiddling around with a Linux desktop OS. Instead of continuing to use Windows 7 as the operating system I have decided to install the latest Ubuntu on the notebook. I just got the replacement battery for my Acer Aspire 3810T and decided to make a clean cut.
