I have just found a bad bug in Israel's ppa package for the OBI. Please
use my polished version instead. You get it from Phill's server

http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/

and it is described at this wiki page

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OBI

If you have some computer that won't boot from USB, maybe you can
chainboot from a Plop CD or even Plop floppy. There are links to several
pdf documents at the wiki page,

- General description
- OBI quick start manual
- README

- mkUSB quick start manual

If you browse quickly through them, it will be easier to get started.

This sub-page helps you make the first tarball
