your live CD. Only difference is that we’ll be booting and

“Option 1: Boot Ubuntu as a Live CD from a USB Flash Drive
“Use this option to install Ubuntu as a Live Install, which
allows you to boot from the USB flash drive in Ubuntu, experience
the Linux environment but will not retain any changes or settings
after you shut down. This is a great way to get a feel for the OS,
test some of it’s capabilities as well as typical hardware
compatibility.”
