This report describes the installation and customization of Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) on a Thinkpad X60 6363.

Installing without CD-Rom
I considered going the simple way and created a bootable usbstick with UNetbootin under Windows. Choose Ubuntu "netinstall" (8.04) and all the required data is downloaded automagically and a proper stick is built. Make sure that the ethernet cable is plugged in before booting the stick. There's a bug in the ethernet driver (e1000/e) which prevents the device from settling down. Check ubuntuwiki for more: Install Ubuntu from usbstick
