FULLY functional install of Ubuntu 10.10 to USB stick in a WinXPenviroment

[johnstark]

I'm not sure there is such a thing as "fully functional" Ubuntu 10.10 :(  I 
have yet to get anything to work with it other than the programs that come 
with it, none of which I need, the ones I need won't work. Either they won't 
"make" or install and if they do get past those two points the sound doesn't 
work.....
