Old Windows based USB Linux Flash Drive installation tutorials
Create a PUD Linux USB Flash Drive using Windows. In the following tutorial, we cover the process of installing PUD Linux to a USB Flash Drive using Windows and our custom installation script. This is a tiny 259MB Ubuntu based remix. It utilizes an (LXDE) Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment and a unique Modular Opt-Get Plugin System to add additional software applications.
WUBI on USB? In the following tutorial, I show you how we moved a WUBI Ubuntu install to a USB Flash Drive. This is a follow up of our previous move WUBI to External Hard Drive tutorial as it appears WUBI currently utilizes a different set of features and GRUB2 has replaced GRUB, making the previous tutorial obsolete.
YlmF OS (StartOS) – Create a Bootable USB Flash Drive from Windows: YlmF OS, later known as StartOS is a Linux operating system designed to mimic the look and feel of Microsoft Windows. It is based on Ubuntu and features custom themes, icons, and wallpapers that closely resemble the Windows environment. Despite this, YlmF OS retains all the core functionalities and security features of a Linux distribution.
This ALL In One PenDriveLinux 2008 version can be run from a USB flash drive either natively (as a stand alone Operating System at boot), or from within Windows as a Virtual Machine. Moreover, the user can save installed software, changes, bookmarks, email, contacts and more automatically via a persistent loop image and then restore those changes upon subsequent Qemu or native boots. This was a major breakthrough as the user can now run it from a USB device even if the computer cannot natively boot from USB and still save changes persistently to be restored regardless of whether booting natively or from Qemu.
In the following tutorial, we show you how to move your existing WUBI Ubuntu install to an external USB drive. This enables you to take your install of Ubuntu with you. Moreover, because WUBI is using loop files (files that once mounted, act as partitions), the remaining NTFS partitioned drive space is still completely usable by Windows for storage. If you ever should decide you no longer want to play with Ubuntu, you can simply delete it from the external USB drive without the need to delete partitions etc.
