How to install lubuntu to USB

[Israel]

It seems like you need to do something like (or at least I do this first)
set root=(hd0,1)
though you'll need to put your actual device instead of hd0,1
ls and find / help figuring this out from grub command line
The other issue is:
kernel /casper//etc,etc,etc/
should be
linux /casper//etc,etc,etc/
(Grub2 is different from classic Grub)
