Ubuntu from a USB memory stick This guide will help you install Ubuntu on your computer by using a USB memory stick. USB memory sticks are sometimes known as flash drives, memory pens or USB Mass Storage assume that you are running Windows. 1. What do I need to get started? To install Ubuntu from a USB memory stick you need: • A memory stick with a capacity of at least 2GB. It will be formatted (erased) deleted from the memory stick. • A computer that can boot (start-up) from a USB memory stick. Many older computers can't boot from USB – check the boot options in your BIOS (see Start the Ubuntu installer)
