I'm toying with a notion and wondered if anyone has attempted this or may know how to do this. I am looking to put Ubuntu or (preferrably for me) KUbuntu on a thumb drive so it can boot as a drive. The reason behind this is I want a linux drive that is mobile that I can quickly install on a system with NTFS recognition so I can do data transfers and file replacement/repairs without relying on the systems OS that I'm working on. Of course this couldn't be the fix all of problems I just want it to enhance my tool options when going on site and doing service. If anyone has suggestions or theories let me know. (please leave out the idea of using a CD as my boot medium because the idea is a drive I can install and uninstall utilities as needed when operating and CD residing OS's limit my installs sometimes)
