Cheers Kevin, running it now - just to make it trickier for novices to
find they called it 'Startup Disk Creator' off the menu when booted with
live cd - I had just assumed that created some sort of rescue disk like
under windows. I had seen reference to usb-creator when googling but
had not realized it was part of the live cd.
Thanks again, Bryce.

Use USB-Creator in ubuntu which gives you the option to have a
data partition.

Hello everyone,
I've got a 1GB flash drive on which I have placed the
Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 cd and made bootable (using the windows program
'UltraISO' which let me copy an iso directly to the flash drive and made
it work).
This flash drive boots fine into Ubuntu desktop just
like the cd.
However, I'd now like changes I make while booted from
this flash drive to be kept on the flash drive. Like when I use it to
boot my wife's laptop - so she can't accuse me of meddling with her
windows setup ;-) she doesn't like change - anyway, it needs to
download 3rd party drivers for the wireless card but these are then lost
on reboot. So is browsing history and updates, etc.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change some
settings, etc to make the livecd flash drive updatable in this way?
Or should I really be doing an Ubuntu installation with
the flash drive as the target for the installation instead? (would this
still let me boot any pc with it?).
Thanks for ideas or suggestions.
Bryce Stenberg.
