Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is here and has become quite a rage for its stability and security. The latest release also offers a ‘Carry on a USB’ feature that allows users to download, install and run Ubuntu 8.10 from the USB Flash drive.

This feature is similar to the Live CD but being on a USB Flash drive, it is much faster than the Live CD. Here is a simple way to install and run Ubuntu 8.10 from a USB Flash Drive.

Checklist for installation of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex on your USB flash drive

Before performing the installation of Ubuntu, make sure you have the following:

- A USB flash drive with at least 1GB of memory

- Ubuntu 8.10 ISO - It can be downloaded from http://www.ubuntu.com

- Ubuntu 8.10 Conversion Script - It can be downloaded from here

- A Windows PC(with a USB formatting tool) for performing the conversion

Installing Ubuntu 8.10 or Intrepid Ibex

The installation can be done in five simple steps:

1. Format the USB Flash Drive to a FAT32 file system - You can use the HP USB Format Tool
2. Download the Ubuntu 8.10 conversion script and execute it. This will create a folder named Ubuntu810
3. Place the Ubuntu 8.10 ISO in the Ubuntu810 folder. The script will try to download the ISO if it is not already there.
4. From the Ubuntu810 folder, click on Ubuntu810.bat and follow the onscreen instructions.
5. When the script has finished, restart your PC and reset your BIOS or Boot Menu to boot from the USB device; save your changes and reboot.

If the above step go faultlessly, you should be booting from a Live USB version of Ubuntu 8.10. Once finished, the installation will act just like the Live CD. No changes are saved back to the USB stick.
