Install Kiwi Linux to a Flash Drive from Windows

How to Create a Kiwi USB Key: In the following tutorial, we will explain how to quickly and easily install Kiwi Linux to a USB Flash Drive  using Windows. Kiwi Linux is a minimal remix based on Ubuntu that includes Adobe Flash along with audio and video codecs for restricted formats and support for encrypted DVDs. Kiwi is for English, Romanian, and Hungarian speaking users. This Kiwi USB install tutorial does support the persistence feature, enabling you to save and restore most of your changes on subsequent boots.
