ubuntu live drive mounting during boot! Help! (1 Viewer)

[MuffinMan]

I need help with the following instructions!

4. Burn the ubuntu iso, stick it in your pc, and boot it! (make sure you have your bios set to boot to CD)

5. Once ubuntu boots and the gui finally comes up, hook up the USB drive you copied the 6gb image to. A window should pop up showing the contents of the drive. Take note of where its mounted. It should be /Devices/Yourdrivesvolumename

However, the problem is, i dont think there is a 6gb usb disk available anywhere!
If i insert a DVD+R DL instead, would ubuntu still be able to recognise it?

(The set of instructions was sourced from here)

i need to mount it on a dvd+r DL as it wont fit on a dvd drive
does it recognise dvds as well as usbs or just usbs?

 

[MuffinMan]

yeah, but isnt the one on the tar.gz file recoded already?

nah no windows, umm mac os x cant install on a partition, only a separate hdd, so no worries
(as long as i dont format the wrong drive), but since its linux, (haha i dont know which drive is mounted where), i'll prolly will :-/

 

[MuffinMan]

nah cause if im gonna install it, its gonna be a fresh install (no windows) from a formatted hdd so theres nothing to lose

oh yeah: priv usb mount does nothing,

bash: priv: command not found

i dont think i need to mount it in the terminal as it mounts automatically

 

[MuffinMan]

well i have one inserted atm
and it doesnt work
it doesn't matter, debian mounts the usb automatically anyway
