Its a completely standalone setup file and compatible with windows 32 bit and 64 bit. Free Universal USB Installer is used to create bootable USB drive for any Live Linux Distribution. Note: The picture shown above has 'Fedora 10' selected, we are using Fedora 16.Universal USB Installer Free will let you download and install it in your PC. When it is done, it will look like the picture shown below. Create Live USB - Click it and watch it do it's magic. Slide the bar all the way to the right (It will take up all the space on the flash drive this way, so you have room to store things).Ĥ. Persistent storage - I strongly recommend having this, it allows you to install programs and keep documents on Linux. Click format and proceed with the instructableģ.

A window will pop up, under file system, select FAT or FAT32 (NOT exFat!)Ĥ. Go to 'My Computer', right click the flash drive and click 'Format'ģ. Copy all data that you don't want lost off of the flash driveĢ. What's that? You don't know how? Mini-structable!ġ. Target device - Make sure that your flash drive is plugged in and properly formatted to the FAT filesystem. Use existing Live CD - Click this and browse to the Fedora ISO you downloaded earlier, usually in your downloads folderĢ. You should see a screen like the picture below. Go ahead and open up the LiveUSB-Creator (The LUC). If you have not, take the time and do that now. Ok, so you have the tool downloaded, and you should have ran and installed it.

Only download the Windows liveusb-creator from this page!

Warning: There are virus-infected copies of the Windows liveusb-creator floating around various download sites on the internet. I recommend only downloading the tool from the site I linked here, the reason being (as stated on the website) is on the site, as seen here: If your flash drive is 2GB or more, I strongly recommend a persistence installation!) You can get the application that we are going to use here, it is called the LiveUSB-creator and is used to install Fedora and Sugar-on-a-Stick to a flash drive. (A persistence installation is an installation that contains not only the Linux files, but a large blank file used to store settings and applications. It is a great tool, but is incompatible with Fedora 16 in the sense that it doesn't have the ability to create a persistence installation. Secondly, if you have seen other instructables on how to boot Linux from a USB flash drive, you may have noticed that they use the Universal USB Installer.

Here is a picture of where you should be downloading the tool.
