Hi Just an update to an old thread Hi, Also need to be mentioned these two excellent tools. Linux LIve USB Creator http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en.html Many features like virtualization support with a portable VB for testing distros without rebooting from external devices etc. Universal USB installer http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ Rgds
Ubuntu, MINT, Fedora and many others now come built in with USB LIVE creator, so does system rescue CD based on Gentoo and few others.
