Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘flash’

I don’t want to install Linux on my computer’s hard disk, but i’d like to use it from my pen drive (USB / Flash drive) just like Live Cd’s are used?

Any good enough version / distribution will do.

Can I Install Ubuntu (or similar Linux) on a Flash Drive (8 GB) via Windows XP with no (Live) CD/DVD..?

I want to base my computer on linux – ubuntu 7.10, but i have programs that can only be used by windows, is there a way to install windows on a flash drive, or have a windows live cd? or do i have to just dual OS my computer?

I have a linux live cd, which I have not booted up yet. Since I do not have an external hard drive, will it be risky? Can I avoid any risks if i buy a flash drive?

I have been thinking on my next round of computers when all my HDs die this time I may just run live CDs. on all my boxes. I am running linux mint now with no problems but got to thinking how much more secure it would be done like this I can download to a flash drive when needed. it would save me the expense of new HDs has anyone given any thought to such a thing mine are all home use net browsing and such. I imagine security would be better this way also. any thoughts pros cons anything I may not be thinking about thanks guys
probly DSL, linux mint and knoppix 3.3 are the OSs I am thinking on using for this purpose
