This custom UNR install requires a USB key that is at least 2Gb in size. First, download the latest image file from:

http://do7.saugus.k12.ca.us/uberkey0.33.img

Next, perform the following steps:

Linux

  1. Determine where the image file was saved when you downoaded it from the web site. It should be in the root of your Home folder. If not, move it there.
  2. Insert your 2Gb+ USB key in any available USB port on your machine. Most Linux systems will automatically mount the key.
  3. We need to find out what disk the system assigned to the key. To do so, open up a terminal (usually under "Accessories") and type "mount" followed by the enter key. In the list of disks that appear, you should see your USB key at the bottom, listed as "/dev/sd*1" where * is probably a,b,c,or d. 
  4. Next, unmount the USB key by typing "umount /dev/sd*1" (replacing * with the letter you saw in the list on step 3)
  5. Finally, type in "sudo dd if=uberkey0.33.img of=/dev/sd*" followed by the enter key, where * is the letter you determined in step 3. When the command completes, you will have a USB key that is ready to boot and install the custom build of UNR on your netbook.
