Public bug reported: Also, I'm running this on a USB Startup Disk. When upgrading, I got this message: update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD Is there any way for this to be fixed even if I am running Ubuntu off of a USB? If not, is there any way for me to run Ubuntu 8.10, or any other OS off of a USB so as not to have this error? I also saw the updater install some other Linux image: "linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic"; will the above error affect this from installing successfully? I'm a noob in Linux. Actually, I only just recently got acquired the Live CD image about a few weeks ago.
I'm also having a lot of trouble with the screen resolution, which is stuck at max. 800x600. I've been tinkering with xorg.conf as in some forums, but those efforts were absolutely fruitless. I need help on this, though Ubuntu 8.10 is in a USB. I don't really want to install Ubuntu into the computer because it's a family computer. If these don't work, will these work if I installed Ubuntu 8.10 into the computer with Wubi?
