Ubuntu USB Install Questions


Recommended Posts

Alright gais word on the "street" is you can install Intrepid Ibex on a USB flash drive. Does this mean when you boot from the flash drive that whatever apps and repositories you add/modify will remain intact on that installation?

Write Ubuntu to and Install from a USB Drive

Ubuntu has been made available to users as an image for CDs and DVDs to date. But CDs and DVDs are slower, less portable and less convenient than USB sticks. Now, a simple application in Ubuntu will allow users to write Ubuntu to a USB drive, even a modified version of Ubuntu with their data on it, so it can be carried everywhere to plug in and use on any machine.

makes it sound like just a convenient method to re-distribute Ubuntu, including ones that you have setup the way you want, and wish to duplicate on another PC.

I had though it was installable and bootable from a USB as a Session, also. I guess if you are interested in that feature, you could always try it and see.

Ah thanks!

That is convenient, and makes sense for those device drivers to be modular because all systems are different.
