  • Please be specific what exactly you want to do and why? – Ashu Feb 18 '16 at 03:50
  • There are plenty of tutorials about this type of thing online, and a number of different ways to do it. If you ask a question like this, you'll have to be specific about what you've tried, and WHY it hasn't worked for you. Otherwise we can't give anything that you can't find elsewhere. – thomasrutter Feb 18 '16 at 03:55

(please note this answer is a best guess, so take it with a grain of salt) You would to boot from a different Ubuntu live USB, with the destination USB also plugged in, but empty. You would need to either create custom partitions using the installer, or, if it recognizes the USB as a destination for install, simply choose the USB. After installing to the USB you would need to do the normal steps of booting from a USB to use it.

    I have tried this answer, and it works. However, it is formulated much more clearly and detailed in the top answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/170454/can-i-install-ubuntu-to-my-32-gb-usb-pen-drive – Fiksdal Mar 27 '16 at 18:30
