I had an idea today. I had 2 flash drives, one I wanted to install Ubuntu on, and one I wanted to install Kubuntu on. But then I thought this wouldn't work because I need 1 for school stuff. So here's my idea. On my 2GB flash drive, (I know it's not much, but I think it's enough), I was going to divide it into 2 partitions, one for Ubuntu, and one for Kubuntu. So I attempted to install grub onto the first partition, as well as Ubuntu, and then Kubuntu on the second. I installed the OS's using Ubuntu's Usb Startup Disk Creator, and tried to install GRUB by just looking at a guide online. I was working on it for a while, but still no luck. So I turned to the always helpful Ubuntu Forums, and here I am now.
If anyone has any idea on how to do what I'm trying to do, please reply to me because I really need a flash drive for school.
Heres a summary of what I'm trying to do, just in case you're confused:
Divide flash drive into 2 partitions. (I know how to do this)
Install GRUB
Install Ubuntu to 1 partition, Kubuntu to other
Configure GRUB to be able to boot to both partitions.
Thanks in advance, and if you need any more info, just ask.
