Will it work considering that different sets of drivers are needed? Can you actually use the USB stick on any other computer with different sets of

Pretty cool. Installed, booted just fine. Good to have a tool around in case something goes wrong on my system. Just tried this too. Pretty cool. Installed, booted just fine.

My requirements were: I wanted a full Ubuntu install I wanted it to use all of the 16Gig USB I had as I wanted to be able to load movies & music on it. I wanted to be able to boot any PC with the USB without any chance of making changes to the PC - the thought of inadvertently installing Ubuntu on my work laptop after a couple of beers didn’t appeal. I didn’t want to change the PC that I installed it with – I especially didn’t want the PC to need to have the USB fitted as I would be taking it away with me a lot. After trying a variety of methods including Pendrivelinux, Unetbootin and the Ubuntu USB creator which all proved unsatisfactory in failing to meet one or more of the above criteria, I found a much better and easier option. Get a live CD. Go into the BIOS of the PC and disable your hard drive – hit F2 (usually, look at the start-up screen for the Set-Up option) when you start it and remember to write down the changes you make so that you can undo them. Fit your USB Reboot the PC from the Live CD The USB should be the only hard drive that the install sees, (Check that it is though, and if it’s not, then you’ve done something wrong, bail out & start again). Do a normal install following one of the many guides on the net. Once you’re done, reboot the PC and change the BIOS back as you did at the start. Doing it this way is much, much less hassle & you get much better & safer results. To boot any PC with the USB, just fit the USB, switch on, choose the USB to boot from (typically hit F12 when you switch it on) and you’re good to go. Hi,
