Ubuntu on a stick

        I want to put a desktop Ubuntu LiveCD-Rom onto a USB memory 
stick. Learned that UNetbootin was a package that will do the trick. So 
about 3 weeks ago I d/l this package. When I ran it this morning, after 
making it an exicutable file, it complained of not finding mtools and 
p7zip so I used apt-get install and loaded both packages. They loaded 
just fine.

        Then put a 1 GB stick in the computer and ran UNetbootin from a 
Termainal. Since I have a .iso file for Hardy on my computer I used that 
and in just a few minutes I have the whole thing on the stick. It boots 
fine.
