Its such a beautiful concept of a fully generic portable Ultimate Edition..
I am not an expert..

Hi copain.
Yes there is. Try using the Advanced search here for USB Persistant.

Cheers.

I'm sorry to disagree, but unetbootin won't work with this edition of Ultimate Edition. I've been using unetbootin to install live cds distros into my 16GB pendrive and they all work flawlessly, and so Ultimate Edition did, until version 2.3. When 2.4 version was released I tried to install it into my pendrive, an the installation processes finished without any problem, then rebooted, and proceeded through the selection menu created into my pendrive by unetbootin.No problems at that point and Ultimate Edition finished loading (the progress bar at the beginning filled completely), but when the Ultimate Edition cursor appeared in the middle of the black screen (the gray rotating globe cursor with the"Ultimate Edition" letters) it just stayed there rotating eternally and no desktop is loaded, no OS, no nothing, it just rotates in the middle of the black background. I was hoping this issue was corrected when Ultimate Edition 2.5 was released, but it turns that it suffers that same problem, that same eternally rotating globe cursor.

If someone knows some way to correct this problem and make unetbootin work with Ultimate edition 2.5 from windows I'll be eternally grateful, since it has been impossible to me to make it work. I don't understand why the older releases worked perfect with unetbootin and now the newest ones don't. I thought it was a general problem with ubuntu 9.10, but it does work with unetbootin and can be loaded from a pendrive.

Thanks in advance for those who can provide the answer. ;)
