ubuntu 9.10 Live USB Flash Drive Creation

1. Download and launch USB Installer-U910.exe, extracting to your PC. A "USB Installer For Ubuntu 910" folder is automatically created
2. Download this torrent and proceed to download Ubuntu 9.10 ISO using your favorite torrent client.
3. Place the Ubuntu 9.10 ISO in the USB Installer for Ubuntu 910 folder on your computer
4. From the USB Installer for Ubuntu 910 folder on your PC, click START.bat and follow the on screen instructions
5. Once the script has finished, restart your PC and set your BIOS or Boot Menu to boot from the USB device, save your changes and reboot

You can also download an iso image of Backtrack 4 & use software like Unetbootin which will extract files from iso image to pendrive & make it bootable.

I have used it and it seems to be very simple as Unetbootin helps to do much of the task.

How much size of pendrive is needed?

Is it needed to be empty?

2 gb will be enough and it is not necessary for pendrive to be empty if you have pendrive larger than 2 gb.
