    Make bootable usb from iso

    I need to boot the ultimate boot cd from an usb stick. Do I just copy the iso image to the usb key?

    How do I make the usb stick bootable?

    Hi!

    Make sure you have at least a 1gb stick.

    Goto:

    system...administration...start up disk creator.

    your iso will show up as source

    &

    your stick as disk to use.

    hit erase disk and then make start up disk.

    Enjoy!

    What version are you trying to put onto a USB? 10.10 and up will work fine the way KegHead showed you, but 10.04 LTS and under you will have to use UNetbootin to install the Live Disk to a USB drive.

    Go to:
    Applications... Ubuntu Software Center... (type)UNetbootin... Install

    Then go to:
    Applications... System Tools... UNetbootin

    May I mention that 10.10+ will also work with UNetbootin?

    Startup Disk Creator, when run on 10.04, can make a 10.04 Live USB.

    If you actually meant to ask how to boot the iso from USB stick, check out MultiBootUSB.
    It works from grub 2 so you will need to install it while booting a grub 2 system, (Live CD works.

    UNetbootin should also work but does not offer persistence out of the box.

    Persistent partitions can be added for both of the above.

    Not sure if usb-creator works with the Ultimate edition.
