[CPLUG] Installing Linux

[Ricky Wong]

If the BIOS doesn't recognize the USB drive, then I'm not sure what you can
do. In any case, the drive needs to be bootable. You can't just put the ISO
file on the drive; you actually have to put the install files and such on
there.

Here's a link for Ubuntu, so you have an idea. It may vary by distro but the
general concept is still the same.
