    Installing from a usb flash drive

    Is there a way to install Kubuntu from a usb flash drive? I am currently using kubuntu but I am still fairly new to Linux and I have a long list of things I would like to redo with my current install but I lost my CD and I do not have a burner to make a new one.

      ... and to add to Snowhog's suggestion, it's possible to install to HD if you already have the .iso somewhere on your drive.

      I know.... i've done it. 8)

      You only need UNetbootin and it will certainly will install Linux to an already-partitioned drive.
      UNetbootin can be run from an XP installation (which is how i did it) or a Linux installation (which i haven't tried).

        ok now I am a bit stuck on setting up GRUB to the MBR of the flash.

        I get this "Error 23: Error while parsing number" when ever I try running the commands.
