i was just wondering if anybody could guide me through how to load ubuntu on a 2gb flashdrive
So in other words, he has no clue whatsoever. But his Post made it sound like he did, huh?
Anyway... http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar
I have not personally done that (never had the need to) so I cannot vouch for it's accuracy, but Debuntu is a fairly decent and respected website, so I doubt they would steer folks wrong.
Than again, CF is incredibly respected, yet refer to Post #2...

You couldn't vouch for a hole in the ground!
I didn't have to post any links to explain that this wasn't difficult task to begin with.
Lately someone else asked if it was possible to install ubuntu 8.10 onto an 8gb usb flash drive where I explained if simply copying a live for cd iso image onto it failed you would have to partition and format it for Linux.
But then most wouldn't see the other side of the request when another reply came in:
I have , personally, partitioned and installed kubuntu 7.1 on my kingston 3gb flash drive. the debuntu method also works.
Don't plan on any long term installation since they tend to degrade after a period of time. While you can partition and format pen drives and sticks easily enough the information can also be lost easily as well. They were never designed for any long term storage but temp transfers of data and one means of rescuing a system.
i only did so because i despise the windohs chop up we have at school. at 'idle' it uses 60% cpu on an e2610 or something. it sucks. so we generally just go about and clear the cmos to allow boot other in bios. they want us to be productive - then have computers that freeze while using a web browser and MS Word.
