Creating Linux Lite 2.0 bootable USB from iso

[Wirezfree]

Hi,

Out of curiosity... I'm posting this from a USB Stick install.
I booted my Laptop with 2 X USB sticks, 1 "Live" and 1 8GB empty.
I did a normal install, Selected "Other" and selected the empty 8GB one to install to,
remembering to select it for Boot Loader.

It took just over an hour to install to USB stick, and then do the LL "updates"
It works fine, but is sluggish on some things.

Disk space after Install and LL Updates:

Code:

dave@hp-usb:~$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1       7.3G  3.4G  3.6G  49% /
none                 4.0K         0  4.0K    0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev                 7.8G   4.0K  7.8G    1% /dev
tmpfs                1.6G  1.3M  1.6G   1% /run
none                 5.0M        0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                 7.8G    76K  7.8G   1% /run/shm
none               100M    24K 100M   1% /run/user

Disk space after Install/LL Updates and Restricted Extras:

Code:

dave@hp-usb:~$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1       7.3G  3.5G  3.4G  51% /
none                 4.0K        0   4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev                 7.8G    12K  7.8G   1% /dev
tmpfs                1.6G  1.3M  1.6G   1% /run
none                 5.0M        0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none                 7.8G    76K  7.8G   1% /run/shm
none               100M    24K 100M   1% /run/user

So for a full install with only updates to USB stick, 4GB leaves you little to play with

I needed to install unetbootin 608 from the ppa here
http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/06/install-...ntu-14-04/

the version 603 in the standard repository wouldn't make a bootable usb stick
