To install Linux to a USB device, you will need to prepare your flash drive first and have it formatted with FAT32 as the file system. After that, you may install 7-zip which is free and really useful in compressing files. Then download Syslinux as the bootloader to make your USB device bootable. Once done then just follow the step-by-step procedures on these websites to further finish the installation of your Linux to your USB flash drive.

Thanks for the help! I wanted to install Linux on my desktop along with my Windows. I had Linux OS in my pen drive but I didn’t know how to install it from a pen drive. So this question and reply helped me a lot! Thanks to author of the question and to the expert who replied. Thank you very much
