Today I am going to show you how to install a Linux operating system on a USB drive the easy way. There are a few things you will need beforehand. A 2 – 4GB USB thumb drive is imperative. You can do this with less than 2 GB’s but it depends on how large the operating system is. Also, all of the stuff on that USB drive will be deleted so move any important files.
1. First download the program called Unetbootin.
2. Look through Unetbootins distribution drop down menu and chose the distribution you want. If they do not have the distro you want, surf over to Distrowatch.com and find a Linux operating system that fits your needs.
3. If you downloaded the OS file from another place, you need to select the disk image choice and enter in the distribution file location.
4. Select your USB drive letter, and click OK. If you cannot find the drive letter use the checkbox that says “Show All Drives”.
5. Now sit back and let it install. By the time it is done it will have turned your USB drive into a bootable Linux Operating System that you can launch on practically any computer!
