<code>
, The easiest way to install Lubuntu on any USB pendrive is to boot your Lubuntu Live CD/DVD, 
, enter the live 
, session, and use the Installer icon present on the desktop. Make sure first that your 
, Internet connection 
, is up and running.
, 
, After you get to the window with the 3 options for installing Ubuntu/Lubuntu, choose the 
, 3rd one which says Something else. This way youll be able to access the partition table 
, for both your hard disk and the USB pendrive. Choose the medium where you want to install 
, Lubuntu, which of course has to be the USB device, and after that delete your entire USB 
, partition if you havent done it already.
, 
, Next you should create 2 new partitions on the USB pendrive: the first one will be the root 
, partition formatted as linux ext4 with foreslash / as startup or mounting point, and the 
, second one has to be a small Linux swap partition (around 1-2 GB in size). After you are 
, finished with partitioning the USB select the root partition and press NEXT to start 
, installing Lubuntu on the USB pendrive. DO not leave any free space on your pendrive, 
, be it raw free space or fat32 formatted free space!!!
, 
, Most important thing is to choose to install the bootloader on your USB and not on your HDD device. 
, While still facing the partition table for your USB, select from the drop-down menu at the bottom 
, of window to place bootloader on the USB pendrive. Make sure you select the entire USB and not 
, your new root partition for installing the bootloader / grub. This way your new bootable Lubuntu 
, usb pendrive will be completely independent of its host.
, 
, I strongly recommend you download and burn on a CD/DVD Lubuntu 12.04.4 LTS iso image or Lubuntu 
, 13.10 because lots of users have experienced nasty errors when trying to install this new Ubuntu 
, 14.04 and all its derivatives, Lubuntu 14.04 included.
, 
, On a last note, to be able to boot from USB you have to either change your BIOS settings to do 
, so or you can just press your default BIOS key for the boot menu (which is usually F12) and 
, select to boot from the USB pendrive. I prefer to press F12 to get to the boot menu because 
, I find it more convenient for me.
, 
, I used the Universal Installer with Lubuntu 17.10 formatted to fat32 
, (HP Stream 11) Changed the bios to boot ubuntu as priority
