Every time Canonical Inc comes up with a new release candidate of Ubuntu, it keeps getting better. Even with Interpid Ibex 8.10 its no different. This tutorial shows 'How to' install Ubuntu 8.10 on to a flash media and carry it in your pocket. Earlier I had done a 'How to' install Ubuntu 7.10 on a USB which was completely through command line . Now that Ubuntu 8.10 has new feature of doing it through the GUI, I thought it was worth doing a post. The best part about making USB boot disk is that you dont really need to install it to do all this. A simple Live Cd will do the trick. So here it is:

Step1:System->Administration->Create a USB boot disk

Step2:Insert Ubuntu X.XX CD(haven't checked for other distros)

Step3:Insert Flash drive and set space required for persistent feature

Step4:Watch it happening

Step5: After completed reboot from USB or insert USB elsewhere and boot from USB.
I wish you Happy Hacking!
