Hello, I have tried to compile some instructions from different
sources which describe how to prepare a ubuntu bootable live flash
disk. I have successfully installed hardy and run the disk as live
disk.
it can be found on http://linuxaccessibility.blogspot.com
However, there was a minor problem while installing. some error
regarding cd drive was encountered and the flash disk could not be
mounted by hardy after install. Please take a look and suggest how to
improve. It may benefit many users like me who are freshers in linux.
Thanks,
Aruni.

Hi, If you are using intrepid, I discovered a really nice app that is
accessible. Unfortunately it only works in the root account with Orca, but
it does work.
What is it? If you go to add remove programs and search usb. There is a
program for making a ubuntu boot usb disk. Yes, you can insert a 1 gb flash
drive and make a boot drive out of it.
Now the drawback. Your computer has to be able to boot from the usb port,
and I have not found a way to save settings. According to the choices it
saves a 128 space that I thought would automatically store settings like
oralux did. But this doesn't seem to be the case.
However, on my dell laptop, it did boot from my usb drive, and the speed
once it is loaded is pretty good. I would say at least twice as fast as a
live CD.
I thought this might be of interest to some, I know I have wanted a way to
carry ubuntu on a usb flash drive for some time, and this program can easily
be used by new users.
Mike.
