Linux From USB Flash Disk

Something that attrack my attention about Linux is running it from flash disk via USB port. On Friday June 18, 2010 I tried to emulate Ubuntu 10.04 to flash disk. Alhamdulillah, it worked. So that I can run Ubuntu from USB flash disk. The way it works is similar with running Linux from a Live CD.

So this is the way you do if you want to run Ubuntu from flash disk:

1. Buy a 2 GB of flash disk. This is the minimal size.

2. Get Universal USB Installer.

3. Download Ubuntu iso from Ubuntu site.

4. Place Universal USB Installer and Ubuntu iso on your computer in the same folder.

5. Run Universal USB Installer.

6. Follow the wizards.

That's all. Pretty easy huh?

:)

This trick may be the solution for the computer who cannot run Ubuntu Live CD. Because I have the same problem with this. Formerly I ever tried Ubuntu Live CD to run in my laptop. But my laptop get freezed during its loading. And using this trik I can run Ubuntu well on my laptop.

So do you want to try?
