Hello,
I have got a new flash drive to IDE converter and a 1 Gig flash disk. This in effect gives me a static state 1 Gig drive. I would like to install Ubuntu onto this drive so that it boots in a similar manner to that of the livecd, i.e. the OS is compressed on the drive and is readonly while running. I know I can't just create an ext2 partition on the 1 Gig drive and copy the CD content onto it, but I am not sure what I need to add as it uses isolinux which I don't fully understand.
Can anyone offer some suggestions please. I am testing the process with a 1 Gig drive on Virtual Box to start with.
Cheers
Neil
