In this tutorial I want to explain a tutorial on how to install Linux using a flash. This method is claimed to be easier and faster than if we install Linux using a CD or DVD media. Almost all kinds of Linux distributions also support the installation using the flash.
Before that you need a minimum of 1GB of flash size. You also need the UNetbootin for Linux iso extract files into flash. In addition, your PC or laptop must support booting from flash.
UNetbootin is available for Windows and Linux. But in this tutorial I use the UNetbootin application for Windows. Because I am using Macintosh OS so I'm using Windows in a Virtual with VMware Fusion application.
Here are links Download UNetbootin application please check:
Open Applications UNetbootin is already stored in the computer.

Check the column Show All Drives (Use with care) (1), the Type field select the USB Drive (2), in column Drive (3) select the Drive Letter you wish to install flash [E:], and then click OK (4 .)
Wait until the installation is complete. The installation process will take approximately 10 minutes, it depends on the speed of your flash transfer.
