Download unetbootin from from http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net
Insert USB stick and Erase all using Disk Utility (system app.)
Using unetbootin - select Ubuntu Netinstall (64-bit or 32-bit). Preference is 64-bit.
Commit to disk.
To upgrade to next release do:-
sudo do-release-upgrade
Insert usb stick into ZBox. Use DEL key to get into BIOS setting, and change boot order to USB as #1.
Proceed to boot. GRUB seems to fail so use LILO as bootmanager.
