How do I install Ubuntu 11.04 to USB flash drive?

[technocp at gmail.com]

Usb creator is for creating live usb and not installing ubuntu on usb. I think your purpose can be served in that case also. See while u create live usb at some stage usb creator asks u for the space you want to use for storing your static data. That space can be used for storing ur data and then use it in a portable way.

Thanks and regards

Subject: How do I install Ubuntu 11.04 to USB flash drive?


Hi,

I have a new 8GB USB flash drive
and want to install Ubuntu 11.04 32Bit to it.
(so I can plug it into any computer and boot into Ubuntu)

I downloaded the Ubuntu 11.04 32Bit ISO and md5sum'ed it.
I then ran "Startup Disk Creator" from my Ubuntu desktop
and then created a bootable installation onto the flash drive.
(with 4GB persistent storage option)

I then put flash drive in my netbook and reset
and it does indeed boot off of the flash drive
but I get the same screen as if I had booted the ISO?
("Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu")

Above is not what I wanted.
Did I do something wrong?
I want the flash drive to boot immediately into Ubuntu.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Jesse
