need to skip vinux and install ubuntu

[John G Heim]

If you google "rufus" it comes up first.

I have to say, google is your friend. You can save yourself a heck of a 
lot of frustration by googling everything before asking on an email

more accurate. You might have to read more than one page for that.

Note that Unetbootn isn't the only tool that will do the trick. Rufus and other options exist, which you can find with Google. BTW, the link for Rufus is https://rufus.akeo.ie/
