I'm trying to make a bootable 7.10 usb but can't seem to find any software that supports older distributions of ubuntu. Is there anyway around this?

Thanks

  • Why do you want such an old version of Ubuntu? It is no longer updated with supported updates and has security issues. If you are having issues because it doesn't recognize your processor/CPU, then there is a workaround for even the newest version. If performance if your worry, there are ways to streamline. – nanofarad Aug 03 '12 at 12:33
  • why 7.10 and why not 12.04 would be first question , and using dd would be the answer :) – atenz Aug 03 '12 at 12:34
  • I just got my hands on a Thinkpad T23, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T23 i want to install ubuntu on it and was recomended to try 7.10. – Sergei Aug 03 '12 at 12:35
  • @tijybba what is dd? – Sergei Aug 03 '12 at 12:36

    @Sergei I advice to use 12.04. Linux/Ubuntu does -not- require better hardware for newer releases. 7.* is way too old. – Rinzwind Aug 03 '12 at 12:37
  • @Sergei dd is used to perform bit-perfect disk copies. – nanofarad Aug 03 '12 at 12:43
  • My mistake if you are not using Ubuntu then dd is of no use . Please refer answer for Unetbootin. – atenz Aug 03 '12 at 12:45

You should definitely go for Lubuntu 12.04 Latest version as its practical System Specs clearly explained in this answer

If you just want to try Ubuntu 7.10 through Usb Drive from windows then try Unetbootin known to work with Ubuntu 7.10 here .
