I have a LiveUSB form of Ubuntu 10.04 on one 2 GB UFD and wanted to make it persistent on another 2 GB UFD, so I used the Startup Creator utility (all within a VMware player, by the way) and it told me that of the partition(s?) required, it need to be 2.4 GB and if I wanted to install it anyway. So I attempted to install it anyway and it aborted.
It used to be that a persistent form of Ubuntu could be installed on a 2 GB UFD.
So my questions:
Should I use older version of Ubuntu?
Should I use another environment of Ubuntu: Kubuntu? Xubuntu? another? I am comfortable with GUI or CLI
There used to be recommendations for partitioning for any Linux system: one partition for code (root, /), one for a swap, and one for data (the /home partition). Do those still apply...does the installation package handle all that, or should I?
I have noticed that some of the Community Forum help documents on installation may need updating. In particular, I think many users will be getting 8 and 16 GB UFD storage devices and will use GRUB or other multi-boot systems with complex partitioning systems that give the ability to boot Linux, MS-DOS (for system rescue and hardware utilities), and full-fledged Windows OSes, and it would be nice if there were clear step-by-step flowcharts for anyone wanting to set up single and multiple OSes.
