I have successfully installed 11.04 onto my existing Windows laptop as files contained in the windows system and have dual booting.

I would like to copy this installation to a 5gig fast usb stick so that I can retain all my settings etc.

How do I do this.

Look at clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org).

Thanks for your help. I started on the "copy but other things took my attention. Am I correct in assuming I will be able to run Ubuntu from my flash drive with all my downloads etc just as if I was using the windows folder I am copying from.

I have another question which I hope you can also answer. Is there a Linux equivalent to windows Stickies. Stickies allows me to put stickies on my screen with all sorts of timers etc.
