Installing Ubuntu to Dell Inspiron 15r

Lots of fun (ha ha, joking) this evening installing a copy of Ubuntu to a Dell Inspiron 15r via USB:

• USB partition must be FAT16 to avoid boot failure
• Use 1GB (of 8GB) partition to avoid weird "out of disk space" error when writing the ISO to the USB
• Have to reinstall GRUB after the install

Oy.
