Can I install Ubuntu from a flash drive instead of a cd?

Use OS X sinnce it creates, reads and edits PDFs natively (PDF is actually part of the display model).

If you use Firefox on Mac OS X, be sure to install the Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS, by Sam Gross. It shows the PDF right in the browser, using the same PDF support built into OS X that the Apple-supplied Preview app uses. I use Preview to look at PDFs on disk. There is no need to install Acrobat Reader on the Mac.

On Windows, I use the Foxit Reader. No need for Acrobat on Windows, either. It's a bloated mess. It also contains security holes — open the wrong document and you are owned!

I would think it is likely that you can,...but I haven't done it ...have you looked at the forums?

How did you get it to the flash drive?

Seeing as how a driver to read from a CD would different than one to read from a flash drive...something ,...someone is going to have to something special.
