There's two things to note here. The short answer is "yes". However you don't "install" onto a USB stick using USB creator. So when you use USB creator from an ISO image or CD to make a bootable USB stick you're essentially coping the live environment into the USB stick. Once done you then have a bootable USB stick you can install _from_. If you _install_ _onto_ a USB stick then you lose the ability to install from there, because you're no longer running a live environment on the USB stick, but a fully installed one, just as if you'd installed on a hard disk in a computer. Albeit a very small hard disk that is highly portable. > To create my live USB, I used the live USB creator with persistent storage. > I disable the auto login, create my user account with sudo privileges. > I store my home data on a different partition that is encrypted with > truecrypt.
