[QUOTE="shellback3, post: 1258757, member: 206072"] I don't believe that there is another partition, such as U3. I have the mini at work. My LAN for this consists of one other machine with Ubuntu SE. I cannot connect the machine to the corporate LAN as It wouldn't work and it would be detected. It's a firing offence. There's a non work WiFI available but for some reason the mini accepts my password but isn't assign an ip address. So all I have to work with is the USB port. I have no USB optical drive and have found none here. I'm willing to purchase a new 2 or 4 GB drive if need be. The Ubuntu ISO I downloaded to another machine, copied to the USB thumb drive, and then copied to the MAC is 11.04 64 bit from [url=http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download]Download | Ubuntu[/url] I converted it to an IMG file and have tried to use dd to install it both with and with out the .dmg stripped from the file name. It all appears to work but the resulting device, /dev/disk1 always shows as not bootable. I also had the mac create a mac partition and repeated the steps. Should I try to remove the partition and use dd on it. Not sure if it will let me do that. The reason I'm doing this is that I am attempting to write some software that will run on 3 LINUX headless LINUX machines and drive some sensors. The 4th machine will host supervisory software, server software, and the user GUI. The assembly will reside on an aircraft and communicate through a tiny LAN. I have a note book that I salvaged and installed Ubuntu SE on but need a second for testing and there are no more here that I can use. I'm not wedded to Ubuntu but that's what I have right now. Thanks to all of you for responding. [/QUOTE]
