I just tried copying and pasting from this message board into oowriter and it worked fine, with formatting preserved.
I've installed 10.04 on a 4GB USB, but I did it from a live CD, so I don't know if it would also work from a live USB. In any case, what I did was remove the hard drive from my laptop, boot from the...
