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.

I’m trying all kinds of distros, and the cd’s are stacking up. I notice most can fit on my usb drive, is there a way after I download the distro I can put it on my usb stick and boot to it, then install if I like the distro?
I wasnt’ allowed and It said I dont’ have permissions… HELP

I’ve been trying to get linux to work on my laptop, that had windows vista pre-installed on it. I tried running ubuntu from the live cd, but it stayed stuck on the loading screen. Then I tried installing it using wubi, and after I rebooted, I got the same stuck loading screen. After 4 hours of waiting it out, it still didn’t get any further. So I downloaded fedora and tried to run it from a usb drive and cd, but both didn’t work either, I just got a black screen when trying to boot.
My laptop should be able to run it spec wise, it is only 2 months old. I’m using a MSI VX600.
I also tried out fedora and ubuntu my home pc, which has windows xp, and it worked fine. So it’s probably something with my laptop, but I wouldn’t know what…can anyone help me with this?
