I have an 8-gig flash drive, and want to install Ubuntu on it in persistent mode, so that I can save documents and applications. Now, Ibex comes with the USB installer tool, and its great. However, it formats my USB to FAT32. This wouldn't be a problem, except that FAT has a maximum file size of four gigabytes. And my flash drive is 8 gigs, so I'm wasting around 3 gigs. Is there any way to install Ubuntu to a USB in persistent mode, but format the flash drive ext? (ext2, as you don't put a journalling file system on a flash drive) I'm fine if its not graphical, I'm used to command line. In fact, that would be preferred.
