Creating a bootable USB for Meego 1.1 in Ubuntu

What is Meego? Yet another netbook OS.

Site reference of Meego.

1. Download the image file from Meego's website.
2. After download is complete, insert a USB in your computer. At least 1gb in size. It doesn't matter if it is formatted or not. ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED.
3. Determine the device ID assigned by Ubuntu to the USB. In a terminal window, type:

sudo fdisk -l

You will see an output similar to this:

Disk /dev/sdc: 2003 MB, 2003828736 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 7644 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1   *          16        7644     1952832    b  W95 FAT32

Your hard disk will usually be /dev/sda. Don't pick that!

4. Unmount your USB drive.

umount /dev/sdc1

5. Run the dd command in the terminal.

sudo dd bs=4096 if=<image file> of=<usb drive>

example:

sudo dd bs=4096 if=Downloads/linux/meego-netbook-ia32-1.1.img of=/dev/sdc1

At the end of the process, you will see an output in the terminal window similar to this:

210688+0 records in
210688+0 records out
862978048 bytes (863 MB) copied, 169.138 s, 5.1 MB/s

That's it. You may now boot your netbook with the USB Meego.
