Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Need help in making bootable USB flash with customized 12.04 Post 302820393 by migurus on Wednesday 12th of June 2013 03:09:34 PM

Thanks, wisecracker.
I read that post, so the idea is to have Live DVD, partition the USB and make Live USB in the 1GB temp partition, then boot from Live USB and make actual instal and target the unused (2nd) partition of that USB drive. I hope there is no misunderstanding here on my part.

A quick question - what would be the reason for build Live USB step? Could I just boot from Live DVD and do actual install targeting my USB?

Just a note to myself and anybody who will follow - disconnect HDD that should not be used, so not to wipe your good disk by mistake.
