Ubuntu Live USB Creator (usb-creator) is an official tool to create Live USBs of Ubuntu from the Live CD or from an iso image. The tool is by default included in all releases after Ubuntu 8.04, and can be installed on Ubuntu 8.04. A KDE frontend was released for Ubuntu 8.10, and is currently included by default in Kubuntu installations. To run the current version on Ubuntu or other distributions, enter either usb-creator-gtk or usb-creator-kde at the command line.

Features

  • Install bootloader to USB device
  • Optional persistence (all changes made to the system are saved, unlike a Live CD)
  • Progress indicator
  • Does not format the device

Future development

Currently the tool is available for Ubuntu (GNOME) or Kubuntu (KDE), and a Windows version is planned. [1]
