Ubuntu’s Live USB Disk Creator

[ Thanks to Michael Larabel for this
link. ]

“Last month we looked at the much-improved version of
BulletProofX, which provides several end-user options when the X
Server fails to start properly instead of just dropping them to a
terminal. On top of this Canonical improvement in Ubuntu 8.10
“Intrepid Ibex” there is the USB startup disk creator as well as a
System Cleanser application. While the System Cleanser isn’t the
focus of this article, the system-cleaner-gtk program will simply
show the user what Debian packages have been installed following
the installation of Ubuntu. The focus of this USB start-up disk
creator is to take a Linux CD or ISO image and convert it to run
off a USB disk drive. This application, which is named usb-creator,
is also able to setup the USB drive to offer persistent storage
capabilities.”
