Instructions for creating a live usb drive

[ogoun]

Hi,
on ubuntu.com there's only an instruction for creating an usb drive under ubuntu. How can I achieve this with other linux distributions (e.g. dd... - what blocksize is needed? Is there an .img file?)?

I'd like to have an ubs drive with the 64 Bit Version for my notebook that hasn't a CD-ROM.

Thanks in advance!

Check out MultiBootUSB.

Thanks. So, there's no easy way like just using an img file?

UNetbootin did it :)

Doh, the live version doesn't show me the unity interface, only the old gnome look. I guess this is because of the missing 3d drivers for my nvidia card.

Unity is working for me with a MultiBootUSB grub2 iso install.
