    Simply, Install from PenDrive
    This may help you...
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick
    Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick | USB Pen Drive Linux
    https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/

    You can also use UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads which works on Windows too, It can create USB bootable of many distros.

    Or get a Ubuntu CD, put it in some one else's computer, Boot in Live.
    Then Plug-in your PenDrive.
    Go to System > Administration > Crease USB Startup Disk.
    and Create a bootable pendrive.

    btw, and your computer should have ability to boot from USB.
    Never make any misteaks.

    yeah,

    some people call them all different things.
    eg:
    memory stick
    usb
    usb key
    usb drive

    and the list goes on...

    Good Luck
    Linux is the OS of tomorrow, Here today!!

    ...or flash drive

    ...or thumb drive

    I've always called them USB flash drives:
