    I'm a nuby on linux (never used it before), and I want to install mongodb on an EC2 linux instance.

    I still haven't found a good article which guide how to install mongodb on an EC2 linux instance, which the data files are stored in an attached EBS.

    Anyone know a good guide?

    usb - How do you recommend installing Linux on a computer that has no external drive or ability to boot from an external drive?

    I have an old Toshiba Portege 3505 "ultralight" laptop, meaning it doesn't have any kind of disk drive on it at all, that I'd like to completely reformat and install Linux on.

    However, it won't boot from any drive (and I don't have any on hand), so I'll have to install it from a USB drive (which I doubt it boots from either). (I'm not sure how to change the settings in my BIOS to get my computer to boot from a USB stick. Any ideas for this?)

    How do you recommend I do this? I want to note that I don't want to run Linux off a LiveUSB, I want to actually install it on the machine.

    I was thinking about Damn Small Linux, it's tiny and all I need. Any advice or suggestions for something else though?

    From what I can see on the net it looks like you may have a problem since it seems the Tosh 3505 doesn't boot from USB. This may have been fixed in a later bios so it's worth having a look in the boot device section to see if it mentions USB. If not you'll need to do a pxe boot over a network. I found these instructions useful when I was trying to do the same job on a Tosh R100 http://hugi.to/blog/archive/2006/12/23/ubuntu-pxe-install-via-windows

    UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD, or it can make a "frugal install" on your local hard disk if you don't have a USB drive.

    I got it!

    I tried using UNetbootin for Damn Small Linux but it hung up at "Scanning for Harddisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab".

    Then I tried UNetbootin with Ubuntu but it wouldn't detect any partitions for some reason.

    But the last thread led me to Wubi which worked perfectly.

    I will have more information when I can finally reformat the whole machine and have Linux as the only OS.

    How about to use a usb based cd/dvd? Those where the first to get bios support on many systems.

    Or if that work, set up a environment so you can netboot the computer (that is a little bit tricky thou)...

    Try Wubi from within Windows. Depends on the Windows version, though and won't completely wipe your Windows (although a little work would probably allow you to do that).

    Or alternately, pull the drive out and put it in something that can boot from USB.
