“There are a lot of Linux distros to choose from, but in our
example, we are going to install Ubuntu using a Windows machine.
Your USB flash drive should be at least 1GB in size.

“Step 1: Download the 32-bit ISO of Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop and the
Universal USB Installer. The ISO file is named
ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso and the Universal USB installer is
named Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.5.6.exe.

“Step 2: Double-click on Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.5.6.exe and
after accepting the license agreement, select Ubuntu 11.04 from the
drop-down list.”
