Take the tour ×  I'm about to install ubuntu onto my thumbdrive,
and want to run ubuntu 12.1 from this thumbdrive. I have made a
list of steps and would like to know if they're correct. If any
of them are incorrect please correct that step as answer. 1.
download ubuntu and save it onto my harddrive as an iso file.
I'm confused about how to save it as an iso. 2. Then turn off my
computer and turn it back on. 3. From the dos menu, press f2 or
f12 and tell the computer to boot from the usb. 4. then install
linux.  I'm running an Asus laptop. With an intel core tm15 It
also has windows 8 beta with an option between windows 7. if any
of my information is incorrect please tell me. Thank you for
your kindness and patience  share|improve this question I'm
confused. Do you intend to keep your Ubuntu installation on your
flash drive, or install Ubuntu to your hard drive? –  Josh Jan
