Boot from USB Flash Drive Using ubuntu Created with Unetbootin

Thanks to Dwight Goodwin for sharing these tips...

Here is a how to video on how to install Puppy Linux using unetbootin. Same steps but point it at the Ubuntu iso file. Also on Ubuntu 9.0 under admin there is a USB install setup. That’s definitely the easiest way

And from the blog entry with my modifications for Ubuntu Jaunty:

1. Download Ubuntu.iso file - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
2. Download UNetbootin which will install the .iso file on the thumbdrive http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin
3. Run UNetbootin
4. Point the install at the Ubuntu .iso file
5. Select the USB drive where you want to install.

I tried this out on an 8gig USB Flash drive without problem, and a colleague did it on 4gig and 8gig. Whether it will work on 1gig, I'm not sure.
