Hi guys,

I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer, works fine.

Now, I need to install it on my external HDD so that I can use my Ubuntu anywhere. I tried using Live USB with 4GB persistent memory, but somehow I can't install any program. I also tried to install directly to the USB HDD, but when I plugged it on other computer, the GRUB loaded, but the Ubuntu didn't.

Is there any way I can use Live USB method but I still can install any program I want and make it ordinary-install-like?

Is there any way I can make Ubuntu installation on my USB HDD portable?

In your opinion, which one would you choose in my case? Using Live USB or just install it?

Thanks before,

Regards,
