ubuntu installation on beagle board


Today i just finished installing ubuntu 11.04 ompa3 version on my beagle board. it is quite simple and took couple of minutes. I am wondering if there is a way to partition the sd card on windows machine. Every time i need to partition the card on linux machine. Anyways, it is good to see the complete gui installation screens on the little serial monitor winodow.

I have used 4Gig sd card.

Download from : http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/

link: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-armel+omap.img.gz

on a linux machine: execute this command after inserting the card.

1. gunzip -c ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-armel+.img.gz | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/ 2. sync
