In the past we have the Linux Live CD and Live USB, right. With those two options, you can only, you know try it out. You can not actually save anything after that session is over and you reboot. It is pretty much gone, right. However, this time we’re going to make a Live Persistent USB Linux Drive, okay.
Now what this thing would do is it will allow you to save whatever you install, okay. Or save any documents or anything that you have done. So it’s kind of like an actual OS from your USB, okay.
So, in Ubuntu by default, they will have it installed by default, you know what I am saying? Let’s go, ‘Create a USB startup disk’, okay. And now, if you do not have it like on MINT, you can actually go to your Synaptic and install this package, USB Creator. Now if you have it, install it, you open it, it will look something like this, right.
Now, you can either use you Linux CD, have the Ubuntu CD, okay or you get an ISO then you click on Others, okay and search for the ISO, that is al you got o do. And after you load that up, it will be here, right? And also you have to put in your USB Flash Drive or whatever, okay. And I have a 2GB one, right.
Now, the difference is right here, if you use this one down here, this card right. This will be like a Live CD or a Live USB, it will not let you save anything, okay. But if you use this one, you can use your extra space that you have like Ubuntu by default. It only uses about 700, okay MB and I have a 2GB right. So I can use some more space to either install the stuff later or you know have data like Word or Excel or something like that, that I can use, okay.
Sot that is what you have do to, you just you now, slide it over to how ever much space that you want. See I have 2GB so I can use it like up to GB more, okay. And then all you got to do is click on Make Startup Disk, okay and that is really all you got to do.
And now, it’s getting to work. It might take a while because I am using the CD but if you have an ISO, it’d probably be faster, okay.
So that is how you do it and next time you boot up, if that computer supports USB booting, okay, then you can use it on any computer, you do not have to care about fucking Windows, okay and you can actually save your shit this time; I suppose to the Live CD or Live USB. So that is how you make the Persistent USB thing, okay.
