Creating Linux Lite 2.0 bootable USB from iso

[gold_finger]

If making a "live" USB with UNetbootin or similar, 1GB will work because the LL 2.0 ISO file is only 700MB.  You'd even have room for a small persistence file on 1GB USB.  However, I don't think 1GB USB's are even sold anymore so any USB sold these days will work.  Basically when making a live USB use the size of the ISO file as a guide for how big it needs to be.  The standard max size for a persistence file (if desired) is 4GB.  (There are ways around that limit, but won't get into that.)  If want a live USB with max of 4GB persistence, just add total size of ISO file plus 4GB for persistence file to get minimum size of USB necessary.

If doing a full installation to the USB stick (as you would to a hard drive), then 8GB would be minimum but that would leave very little room for expansion.  16GB or larger would be better.

P.s.  If you're planning to make live USB from a Windows machine, download UNetbootin program from their site.  If doing it from a Linux Lite computer, just open a terminal and enter this command to install it:

Code:

sudo apt-get install unetbootin
