“1 Preliminary Note: Linux Mint 11 needs about 4.7 gigabyte of
free space on your hard drive, so make sure your device has at
least that much space available. I am using an 8 gigabyte stick
which is enough to install Mint on it and additionally have some
space left to save data. In my case, I will install Linux Mint 11
on my USB device, but it should work similarly with other systems.
To create a bootable disk, you need either an iso-image of the
desired Linux system or a real Linux DVD.”
