No external cd-rom? UNetbootin allows you to 'Live use' or install Linux from an USB drive.

Bootproblems with your USB drive made by UNetbootin?
Try this:
- boot computer and wait for the UNetbootin screen
- choose 'browserlinux' or 'puppy'
- Press [Tab]
- change 'pmedia=cd' to 'pmedia=usb pfix=ram'

If you keep using USB drive as a "Live OS" (no installation): edit the "syslinux.cfg" on the USB drive and change the last line: 'pmedia=cd' to 'pmedia=usb')
