"Small is beautiful" If you like the CD style, you can clone the iso directly to the USB pendrive. It is very fast and has a high success rate. For example, it is not disturbed by the [previous] content of the target drive, but it can use the content to identify that it is the correct drive (in my case for Lubuntu Saucy 32-bit). This eliminates the risk to clone it to the wrong drive. I use my script to make it safe and very convenient to transfer the daily build to a pendrive. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958073 Like the CD, it is read-only, you need another method to get persistence. I have found that it works with all current Ubuntu flavour desktop, alternate and server iso files but not the mini.iso (which is a known issue, documented in our wiki).
