Ubuntu on your usb stick

Published by Charl Norman on Mar 22nd, 2007, No Comments

Debian/Ubuntu Tips & Tricks shows you how to install Ubuntu Linux on a flash drive, thus giving you the Live CD experience without the CD.

You’ll need a system that’s already running Linux. You’ll also need a 1GB-or-larger flash drive, an Ubuntu Live CD and some familiarity with the Linux command line. The tutorial looks pretty straightforward, though it’s definitely not a five-minute project–and not for novices, either. If you’re looking for an easier method to boot Linux from a flash drive, try this option, which employs Knoppix and works from Windows. However you go about it, there’s no question that bootable-Linux is much cooler on a flash drive than it is on a CD.
