[02tnewton]

i installed it on my 2gb usb and i booted into ubuntu with it but it says install ubuntu or try ubuntu without any change to computer. if i choose install ubuntu will it install on the usb or the hdd.

Try ubuntu without any change

[iCookieGG]

@Computerstuff101 hey man i wonder if i cant install ubuntu on a usb stick of 32gb not in my C: or partition just like dual boot with usb drive which opens ubuntu normally

[X1Bit1X]

would it work on a 2gb usb

[Computerstuff101]

@X1Bit1X  Yes

[MrChickenTeeth]

@Computerstuff101 How do i install ubuntu 2010 version on a usb stick when i am running windows xp?

Plus once it's installed on the usb, does that mean that whenever I am using windows xp I can just plug the usb in and run ubuntu, and whenever i am running ubuntu i can just switch to window xp by taking out the usb?

[stupidrainbo]

would you be able to use the drive on a computer currently using windows?

[thew0wn00b]

i have 1 question. What is the point of all this? it installs ubuntu faster and you dont have to carry around a cd?

[HHobo57]

most netbooks like the acer aspire one dont have a cd drive

[thew0wn00b]

oh i see

[jjacks81]

that and if a computer has multiple problems such as a corrupted OS and a failed CD drive, this is the easiest way to recover data...

[MattMcq99]

@thew0wn00b i did it because the computers at my work are all password protected, so i used this instead.

[H21Assassin19]

You mean I can run it from a USB memory and it will save my changes ( files, themes etc.) ?

Or it will just allow me to run it in live mode and install it on an hdd ?

[Computerstuff101]

It will allow you to run it in live mode

[keygenmainiak]

nice but one cuestion can i still use the usb for sorage ??

[Computerstuff101]

Yes you should be able to.

[Chuk231]

so how do i actually boot from the flash drive?

[Computerstuff101]

You go into your BIOS and set it to boot from USB
