I'm a total newbie, so sorry if this is a stupid question.
I was wondering if I could make a version of Ubuntu I could run straight from the USB stick. Not like the installer, but I'd plug it in and it would be a full version of Linux that saves my stuff and all of that.
At first I tried plugging in 2 USB sticks into my computer. One empty one, one with the installer, and install from one onto the other. The installation took a few hours but went fine. However, once it said it was going to reboot, the whole computer crashed. I let it sit for about ten minutes before turning off the PC. When I turned it back on, it seemed fine, but I couldn't boot the USB stick I just installed Ubuntu onto. I can still boot the installer USB fine (I'm actually using the "Try Ubuntu" feature on it to write this), but the installed one doesn't work.
Now I just want to know if there's a straight-forward, newbie-friendly guide on how to make a bootable Ubuntu stick. All the official ones I could find were just for putting the installer on a USB.
Thanks in advance!
