Create Ubuntu 8.10 Live USB

To create a Ubuntu Live USB is not very easy that before 8.10. To response to the huge requests of Ubuntu Live USB, the developers write a program in Python to create a Ubuntu Live USB for all levels of users in Ubuntu 8.10.

Procedure

(A) With Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD
(1) Download the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD from http://www.ubuntu.com. Make sure you download the Desktop version instead of Server version.
(2) Burn the image file (.iso) with your CD/DVD burner in the method of burning as image.
(3) Boot up the Live CD.
(4) Insert your brand new USB thumb drive.
(5) Choose "System" >> "Administration" >> "Create a USB startup disk".
(6) Format the USB thumb drive if there is a "Format" button on the screen. (The finished product does not work on a FAT32 formatted media; however, it works great on FAT16.)
(7) Push the adjustable bar to the maximum in order to allow you to save files or something on the Ubuntu Live USB.
(8) Click the "Make startup disk" button to create the Live USB. It takes time to complete and depends on the size of your USB thumb drive. (For official Ubuntu CD, you are required at least 1GB size.)

(B) From a working copy of Ubuntu 8.10 on hard drive
(1) Boot up your computer that running Ubuntu 8.10.
(1a) Download the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop .iso or put the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD to the CD-ROM.
(2) Insert your brand new USB thumb drive.
(3) Choose "System" >> "Administration" >> "Create a USB startup disk".
(4) Format the USB thumb drive if there is a "Format" button on the screen. (The finished product does not work on a FAT32 formatted media; however, it works great on FAT16.)
(5) Push the adjustable bar to the maximum in order to allow you to save files or something on the Ubuntu Live USB.
(6) Click the "Make startup disk" button to create the Live USB. It takes time to complete and depends on the size of your USB thumb drive. (For official Ubuntu CD, you are required at least 1GB size.)

Tips

(1) Use a 1GB or larger USB thumb drive. You are advised to use a faster speed USB thumb drive.
(2) Use Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop version (Live CD or working copy).
(3) Make sure the USB thumb is in FAT16 format or format it as is at the program that prompt you (there will be a "Format" button).
(4) Go to the BIOS to change the boot priority. Makes the USB media boot first. Or, you may need to change the boot priority on every boot up with Ubuntu Live USB. Some BIOS provides boot menu for the selection.
(5) Or, you may consider Lambda 8.10 Live DVD at http://www.samiux.com as you are not required to install any common program and plugin, such as Flash, Java runtime and multimedia codecs. In addition, it is in Traditional Chinese by default. You can use any Chinese Input Method on it. For Lambda Linux, you are required a 2GB or larger USB thumb drive.
(6) If you are using a larger USB thumb drive and reversed extra space, you can save files and install programs on the USB thumb drive.
