I can't seem to get linux to boot on my pendrive?

Q. I already have linux on the drive. I also changed the BIOS so that it will boot from the pendrive before the main hard drive. It has worked in the past, but it does not seem to be working now. Any suggestions?

A. If it doesn't work just press F8 on the first boot screen and select the usb-drive than it should boot. If it doesn't you should reinstall linux on your pendrive.

You'll want to use Universal Installer, which is as simple as 1 2 3.

Also, there's alot more Linux distros. that can run of a USB, just a lot harder to setup, you might as well not bother.
