How to install lubuntu to USB

[Aere Greenway]

HTH:

Thank you for the additional information.  It could turn out to be 
useful.  I have filed this e-mail in my "Info-Gems" folder for later 
reference.

I am a programmer (since 1969), but my area of expertise is not making 
bootable USB drives.

I stick to areas I am familiar with, if at all possible.
