How to turn a Linux distribution LiveCD into a LiveUSB
LiveCDs these days provide the simplest way to test a Linux distribution. Pop in the CD, reboot and then watch the distro’s default desktop unfold before you. With flash drives being relatively cheap these days, booting your favorite Linux distribution for a clean install from a USB seems to be an interesting option. And that is possible with one tool even if you’re distribution doesn’t already offer LiveUSB images for download – UNetbootin.
The main reason I looked for a tool like UNetbootin was because my CD drive seems jammed at the moment (fortunately there’s no disc inside). November promises releases from the top Linux distributions and I was looking for a quick, cheap way to boot distros and test them one after the other. Being in the ‘distrohopping’ mood, wasting CDs seems like a bad idea and I don’t have any rewritables with me at the moment.
