[clug-talk] Can not do an install since will not recognize my USB

[Hendrik Schaink]

>From my perspective you should have 2 options:

1) Allow the OS boot itself up from the USB drive. After it has brought
up the LiveOS you will be presented with an Install option by way of an
icon.

2) Alternatively, if you press ESC at the LivdOS Ubuntu bootup screen,
you will be offered the option to perform a text install.

HTH, Hendrik
