[ubuntu-uk] Re : Running From USB

[Pallottini Aymeric]

Creating a live USB with the installer, can you still boot on computers with different video cards than the system you used for the install?

To create my live USB, I used the live USB creator with persistent storage. I disable the auto login, create my user account with sudo privileges. 
I store my home data on a different partition that is encrypted with truecrypt. And before login I open a terminal window mount the truecrypt container as my home and then login.

I have tried to create a user with encrypted home but that didn't seem to work.

No, just install onto a usb stick rather than copy the cd onto it.

Boot off an ubuntu cd, put a usb stick in and run the installer as if
you were installing to the local hard disk but choose the usb stick.
This is what I did with my 32GB usb stick and it works perfectly. I
can plug it into any machine and carry my encrypted data around with
me.

Cheers,
Al.
