Simpe way to boot an linux installation from a pen drive?

Rameses · 28 Oct 2007 at 14:11

Hiya guys, I think the problems I have been experiencing are because my CD drive is failing.

I have a 1GB Pen Drive, is there any 'simple' way to use this to boot up OpenSuse or Ubuntu?

I came across one page which described it in, well, linux talk. I just couldnt understand it?

Any quick tips?

I so want to get linux on my laptop!

Thanks.

Ubuntu has something called Wubi Installer which installs ubuntu from windows with NO CD/DVD's!

I don't have windows on my laptop anymore, failed attempts of past Linux cleared the drive?

The USB Pen Drive page I read was from ubuntu's site, although I have since found out it was more geared to someone who already has linux/ubuntu installed.

:confused:
