I have to say that I didn't like Mint at all... took me ages to
reconfigure it so that it reverted to, effectively, a default Ubuntu.
In terms of Linux I think I'm a Ubuntu man through and through - not
really sure what Mint is trying to do but it's not my thing I'm
afraid.

I use mint (have for a bout a year) and yes you can install it from a
usb drive just like Ubuntu.

You can't just copy an iso to the USB stick. It needs to be unpacked
in a certain way, hence me suggesting you use unetbootin.

You can use unetbootin (which is cross platform) to copy an iso to a
USB stick and make it all nicely bootable. So long as your computer
support
I think its time for me to upgrade to a newer version. I would like a fresh
install.
Does anyone know if i can install Linux Mint ( from a usb drive) ?
All i have to do is set the periperal as first boot right?
Out of interest how many people here prefer mint over the normal ubuntu
flavour?
