[ubuntu-uk] Running From USB

[Stephen Garton]

Good Morning All,

It's very early, but this has been on my mind for a while. I currently
have Lucid as a live usb, which is fine and dandy. My problem with it
is although the packages installed on it are persistent, the user and
other security on it is still the LiveCD standard (ubuntu with no
password), so I obviously don't want to save anything personal on
there!

Is there a way I can secure the Live USB? Do other people do this?
Would I need to roll my own live cd (e.g.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch/)

Thanks in Advance,

P.S. Also, just a minor thing, has anyone else noticed on the
ubuntu.com download page, when asked to pick a download location, the
UK option is listed as Great Britain (UK) whereas every other site on
the internet (in my experience!) would just have it has United
Kingdom? It throws me every time I use it when I select the dropdown,
and press 'U' to skip down the list only to find it isn't there!
