[Ubuntu-be] ubuntu-live on usb

[Peter Stuart]

as optimistic as i was yesterday,
as pessimistic i am today, after some playing around
with the settings.
ubuntu-live doesn't destroy the usb-stick
but updating packages fills the 250Megs ext2 partition in no time.
unmounting requires killing hundreds of processes manually.
not as nice as i thought initially...:-|

reformatted the ext2 partition, things got a bit better
without the package-updates, customizing (lang, kbd, background) works.

but i've had as many successful reboots as unsuccessful reboots.
(sometimes desktop is garbled, sometimes gnome won't start,
ditto in fail-safe mode, sometimes there's no internet connection,...)

so, for me it's not trustworthy enough.
and yet, a UK company <http://www.dragontechnology.com/ubuntu_usb.php> sells
them on a 2Gb stick.
i have a 2Gb stick as well, but i'm not sure if i should risk it.
p
does anyone have a better experience with this?
