extraordinarily easy to install Linux on a flash drive. The simplest
way, is with a program called Unetbootin. You can download this
application from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net">http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net</a>. Once you download
Unetbootin, plug in your flash drive, fire it up and select the
distribution from the list at the top, or provide your own ISO image in
the browse window. Select your flash drive in the drop down at the
bottom and click "OK". Unetbootin takes care of the rest. Once it's
finished you can reboot your system and choose the flash drive in the
boot device menu (You may need to enable this in your BIOS).<br>
<br>
I hope this gets you on your way, if you need further assistance I'm
sure someone here can help you out.<br>

<div><br></div><div>What about taking the flash drive out and plugging
it back to the same machine, that should be doable right ? I am trying

<div>What is the diff between installing the OS on a Flash drive vs
running Live CD (Puppy or Linux Mint that saves data) ?</div><div><br></div><div>My
Flash drive is 2GB and I am not sure if Arch can be installed there
with XFace. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Is it feasible to do so ?</div><div><br></div><div>I
