I've downloaded the 64bit 12.04 LTS ISO and made a bootable USB drive with it using usb-creator as instructed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick
After booting it up, I started customising and installing things such as Chrome, and Steam.
When I run Steam though, it tells me that I should a repository for video drivers, so I do, and then it tells me I need to update my packages, so I go to update, and Ubuntu tells me I don't have enough space on /
It's a 32GB USB stick that I'm using.
I set it to 4GB of documents and settings storage in usb-creator.
GParted tells me I have 25.11GiB unused in the FAT32 partition of the USB stick.
When I check the properties of the file system though, it only reports 113.4 MB of free space on /
What's the simplest way to make this live USB stick have access to all of the space available on the USB stick?
I'd like to keep it as a live USB stick so that I can use it to install Ubuntu on other computers easily.
Edit: I rebooted after posting this and it seems like all the changes I made were wiped. Chrome and Steam were not there, there was nothing in the downloads folder, etc.
If that's how live USB sticks work then I guess that isn't what I want after all.
What I want, is Ubuntu 12.04 running from a USB stick, with access to all the space on that USB stick and full control to customise the appearance and behaviour of the DE and install whatever programs I want that will fit in the space on that USB stick, and with an option to install Ubuntu 12.04 onto the machine that it's in.
What's the easiest way to achieve that?
