I have created boot key for my hard-drive-dead Dell laptop, with Ubuntu Meerkat. I’ve put it on "Try Ubuntu" mode, seeing as how I can’t download it, but I can’t seem to find a way to save anything like Google Chrome, flash games, or WordPress. When I turn the computer off and then on, it disappears!
Any help?

How big should my hard drive be for Ubuntu to run fast and smoothly?
I plan to have both Windows Xp SP3 and Ubuntu on my hard drive. I plan to put them on different partitions, but I do not know how bug to make the Partitions. I have a 180GB hard drive. I was thinking 100GB for windows, and 80Gb for Ubuntu. Is this to small or big to run Ubuntu smoothly.
Ubuntu install, can I install on one computer, then move the drive to another computer to use it?
Was curious if I could install Ubuntu on one computer, then pull the hard drive out and put it into another computer to use it?
Reason is the other computer doesn’t have a CD player or a floppy drive.
So just curious if anyone has tried this method, and if ubuntu does work or if it requires a lot of tinkering to get it running since it was installed one on machine and actually booting and running on another.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
