Kubuntu 8.10 USB Flash Drive Creation Prerequisites:
- Windows PC to perform conversion
- Kubuntu 8.10 ISO
- 2GB or larger USB flash drive (Fat32 formatted)
- Ku810p.exe (contains the files to do the conversion)

- Download the Kubuntu 8.10 ISO and place it in the Ku810 folder on your PC
- From the Ku810 folder on your PC, click Ku810.bat and follow the onscreen instructions
- Once the script has finished, restart your PC and set your BIOS or Boot Menu to boot from the USB device, save your changes and reboot
You should now be able to boot from your own Live USB Kubuntu 8.10. In addition any changes that you make should be saved and restored on subsequent boots.
Persistence size: The default casper-rw loop file that becomes the partition for saving changes is only 1GB. If you have room and would prefer to use more space for saving changes you can download one of the following zip files and extract the new casper-rw file to your USB device, replacing the old one.
You will lose any saved changes by replacing your casper-rw file with one listed above!
