I'm not familiar with the KPC, but in the past I have opened the box and attached a drive to the secondary connector on the hard drives cable. It has been a while obviously. Is there more drive connectors inside the box that may work?

moin moin,

I bought a KPC and want to convert it to Ubuntu.

It doesn't have a CD/DVD drive.

I tried getting it to boot from a USB thumb drive and from a CDROM
connected via USB, but those methods both failed.

I also tried installing via lubi, but lubi depends on QT :( and Foresight
doesn't appear to have QT.

Anybody else have a KPC? Did I not notice some simple BIOS option?

I'm going to investigate the USB stuff again when I get time, but I
thought I'd see if anyone had been successful in re-installing a KPC.

The thumb drive that came with the KPC has an installer and ISO image on
it, but it's Foresight and I specifically bought this system for Ubuntu.

I do hope to pull up the original install in a VM, so I can play with
Foresight.

ciao,
