[07:00] <IamTrying> http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBoard-xM - I have tihs board. How can i install Ubuntu 13.10 kernel 3.11 on it?
[07:08] <infinity> IamTrying: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/saucy/main/installer-armhf/current/images/omap/netboot/boot.img-fb.gz
[07:08] <infinity> IamTrying: Write that to an SD card, boot, and install.
[07:09] <infinity> IamTrying: (Ideally, install to external media, like a USB hard drive)
[07:10] <IamTrying> infinity, Can i just make the boot.img.fb.gz int my USB stick? and install it via USB ?
[07:11] <infinity> IamTrying: Been a while since I played with one, but unless it has a burned in SPI that lets you slect a boot device, it almost certainly only boots from SD.
[07:11] <infinity> IamTrying: So, you'll need an SD card both for the installer, and for the kernel/bootloader to live on in the final setup (same card, of course, the installer will reformat it).
[07:12] <IamTrying> infinity, I have less trust in Flash card u know. They fail for long run. So was thinking to use USB Stick with higher speed.
[07:12] <IamTrying> infinity, SD card i wanted to avoid if possible
[07:12] <infinity> IamTrying: No, no.  You only have to BOOT from the SD card.  Like I said, you should INSTALL the system to an external USB device.
[07:13] <IamTrying> OK - infinity
[07:13] <infinity> IamTrying: The SD isn't likely to fail if you never write anything to it other than a bootloader and kernel once in a while.
[07:13] <infinity> (Which will all happen automatically)
[07:14] <IamTrying> OK - infinity, so i have one 16GB SD card and one 120GB USB Disk. Now i write the boot.img-fb.gz in my 16GB SD card? And then while install i choose 120GB USB stick right?
[07:16] <infinity> IamTrying: Right.
[07:16] <IamTrying> OK - Excellent, thank you so much infinity, will let you know after installation, have a nice day.
[07:17] <infinity> IamTrying: Also, that -fb image is if you have a monitor and keyboard attached.  If you're doing it via a serial console, you want this instead:
