Boot from a usb drive

[Dan Healy]

I have an Asus notebook pc running ubuntu 14.04 lts.  I want to re-install
ubuntu 14.04 from a usb drive.  I have found several on-line sources of the
necessary instructions, but they are too long with too many options and
acronims I don't understand.  Memory is 3.8 GiB and OS type is 32-bit.

How do I tell my machine to boot from the usb drive?

Thanks, Dan H.
