linux and the pen drive boot.

alright, so in this article, i will be walking you through how to get a linux distro on a flash drive. this is perfect if you like to take your operating system with you, or if your new to linux and just want to try it out before installing it.

a few things to keep in mind:
  • you will be limited to 4 gb of saved data, as your drive will be formatted in fat32 (im assuming you still want to be able to use the drive to store file in windows)
  • unless you run the installer, nothing touches the hard drive... the whole opperating system is ran from the flash drive.
  • you can still 'mount' your hard drive and use the files on the computer.
