I just have one simple question; Is there any way to install Ubuntu right onto the SD Card via a simple RAW Image? MeeGo was so easy to install... Just copy RAW Image to SD Card and boom - it booted.

Is there any other Image from Ubuntu or another Linux Distribution available?

Thanks for any Help,

Robin

Hello,

here is an HowTo from beginning 2011.

It looks good, I want to test this in the next days.

on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-mo...alled/current/ is an never version.

I hope it works. :-)
