UNetbootin to create a LiveCD in USB


UNetbootin is a Live USB creation tool that can be used to create a Live Linux / Bootable USB flash drive from an ISO. Many Linux distributions are supported out of the box with custom install options available for Linux distributions that are not. It is important to mention that Live Linux USB flash drives created with this tool, do not currently utilize a persistence feature. The resulting USB Linux install will function just as it does from a CD. By default you will not be able to save and restore your changes.
