How to Put Ubuntu 9.10 on a Kingston 128GB Flash Drive

Ubuntu 9.10 and newer versions include a USB Creator application that installs the Ubuntu operating system to any USB drive with over 2GB of available memory, including a 128GB Kingston flash drive. After putting Ubuntu on a flash drive, you can insert your Kingston flash drive into a computer while it's booting and boot to Ubuntu. Ubuntu saves your settings and files to the USB flash drive, so you can use Ubuntu from any computer without losing your settings. You can also use the Universal USB installer program to put Ubuntu 9.10 on a flash drive from Windows if you're not using Ubuntu.
