Install any linux on USB flash drive

Written by Mel Kham on May 24, 2009. Posted in Linux tutorials

The USB Linux installation enables you to install a portable Linux operating SYSTEM on a flash drive or USB key no larger than your thumb (thumbdrive). This portable Linux operating system can then be run from any computer that can boot from a flash device, allowing you to bring your operating system, desktop, applications, files, email, personal settings, favorites, games and more with you. It’s your own personal operating system you can carry in your pocket.

I have used this utility to create a LiveUSB from LiveCD for openSUSE 11.1. Yes, it does something and installs it on the USB device. However, when I booted with USB pen, it failed.

It works for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Live CDs.

Such love is often more profound and worthy of cherishing. I heard that men loves to give watches as gifts to women. Watches stand for time. And time is a great dealer, it can heals all wounds, sorrows, and dissolves all things. He who gain time gain everything. Time tries all things, of course , it can tries love between all of us. Therefore, watches plays a very important role in this part. For the rich men ,they always tend to buy [url=http://www.bagswatches.net/replica-swiss-watches.html]Swiss Watches[/url] to their lovers. My parents loved each other at first sight and lived happily for 50 years. My father was romantic and humorous. The stories he told casually always added a lot of fun to our life.
