Install OS’s (.iso) from USB?

Hello I am going to install Debian Linux on my computer but I want to do it from a USB drive rather than a CD-ROM. How can I do it. Drive is 2GB Kingston Data Traveler, and my computer can boot from USB’s. I am running windows XP and I have a live CD of Ubuntu 7.10 with no internet working on it.

Linux on Mac?

hi all, got a major problemo here, i ran a SUSE Linux live cd on a friend’s mac. it worked quite fine when i tried returning to the mac OS the system gave me the following message “Cannot find Bootable Device”, which is strange cos the Mac OS was running just fine befor i restarted the system for the Linux live cd. the only thing i know i did was direct the Mac to use the CD-ROM as the first bootable device, i did this within the OS itself, i guess that’s what’s giving me problems. please how do i reverse the process.
Mean while i want to install Linux on the Mac, will it affect the files on the system.

ok a simple linux(kubuntu) question?

ok so its like this-ive got a test next week and the cd rom of my computer at school does not work so if this doesnt help im really screwed. so basically ive got a kubuntu live cd and a laptop and i want to know if i can make some minor modifications with the console module(rename folders, make new once etc) without installing that bullcrap on my laptop. 10x
ok im not going to install it. 2-nd option-can i make the same modifications on a usb memory drive, not on the cd.
