I'm making a bootable USB key for myself, and one function of it is to install Ubuntu.

I have downloaded the ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso file.

There is a pretty good method for installation of Red Hat from a USB drive, but the problem is, when it comes to Ubuntu, what should the syslinux.cfg file should be?

I used 'syslinux -d /boot/syslinux /dev/sdb1'syslinux -d /boot/syslinux /dev/sdb1 and put vmlinuz and initrd.img inside it.

Is the following item of syslinux.cfg correct?

LABEL InstallUbuntu
MENU LABEL Ubuntu 11.10 Install
KERNEL /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
APPEND linux load_ramdisk=1 initrd=/boot/syslinux/initrd.img method=hd:sdb1:/
