I have downloaded a bootable linux iso. How do i put it on my flash drive?

I got this new laptop (ultra portable) without a disk drive. I remember hearing ti was possible to get linux running with a flash drive but, what I want to know is if it’s possible to download linux with it (dual boot). If not is there any other way? I’m using an Ubuntu like distro.

I saw one time where someone booted Linux on their laptop, but it WOULD NOT boot without the flash drive containing a particular configuration file inserted. Basically, the file/flash drive gave Linux the "OK" to continue booting.

How do I create this situation with my computer? I use Knoppix 6.2.

I need it to run on a Flash drive. It needs to be small because I’m hoping to use it as a portable photo gallery. It needs to be cross-platform so it can run both on Windows for my family and GNU/Linux (Ubuntu) for me. I hope that it can be Open Source software (GPL), but freeware is ok too.

I’m gonna be building a new computer soon and I want to put Windows 7 on it. However, my current computer lacks a DVD burner, so my only option is to put the Windows 7 ISO file on a flash drive. How would I go about installing Windows 7 from a flash drive when the computer has no OS installed?

I like how my Mozilla is set up. Is there a way, maybe via a flash drive that I can install it on another computer exactly how it is, with all of the bookmarks, favorites and passwords?

Thanks,

Internet Explorer, being the piece of crap that it is, won’t let me download anything. I need firefox but I have no way of downloading it from the internet onto my computer. How do I get firefox on my computer from another computer? Can I download it on another computer and then put it onto a flash drive or something?
