Is there an easy way to fully install a live cd image to a flash drive without using a live cd or Unetbootin?
(oh and how would you do this while running linux)

How much space do you suggest I partition to dual install Linux and XP?
I am currently running Windows XP and I plan on installing Ubuntu from a Live CD. I have 15GB’s of free space on my C: drive, don’t worry I have two drives if you think that’s to little. I was wondering how much space would you suggest I partition to install Ubuntu on?

will ubuntu linux run good on my old laptop?
I have an old HP laptop running windows XP that I want to install linux on. I am thinking of installing Ubuntu on it but it seems to run really slow using the live CD even though my specs meet the minimum requirments (but not the recommended). I want a linux distro that will run at least as fast as my windows XP hopefully faster. I tried Xubuntu but I don’t notice a big difference. My main question is should I install Ubuntu on my old laptop, if not what distro do you recommend?
Here are the specs for my laptop:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
AMD Athlon XP2500 519MHz
448MB RAM
37.2GB HD
Thanks.

How to install Linux into a existing spare partition?
I am trying to install Linux Ubuntu 7.10 in to a spare partition (drive d) in my laptop. There if 30GB free in dat partition and nothing else saved. However during Ubuntu installation, the Partition part, it would let select the drive and only allows me to use the entire hard drive, I’m not sure wat to do in manual partition manager either. (Live CD) Can anyone tell me a way of installing Ubuntu onto the spare partition without affecting the other partition at all.
The spare partition is ntfs format.
I trying to dual boot with XP Home Edition SP2.
