+The next step is to get a copy of kubuntu8.tar.gz, which is the
+USB boot image. Currently, it can be downloaded from:

+  www.bacula.org/downloads/kubuntu8.tar.gz

+I recommend that you download it into the rescue/linux/usb directory.

+Finally, mount your USB key and detar the kubuntu8.tar.gz image

+You should now have a USB stick that can be booted providing the
+machine permits booting from the USB port -- this can be adjusted

+Alternatively, most machines let you boot from an alternate device.

+On Dell machines during power on, if you press F12, you will be

+that is the default (normally the CDROM or HDD).
