External USB

 One step closer! I now have kubuntu running on an external USB drive. The initial instructions that I had would only work on an actual flash drive, and not an external USB. Thanks to the dd command on linux I was able to clone the flash drive partition to the USB disk. A separate dd command took care of the MBR and I'm now live with kubuntu. I like this distrubution, but I've found that many of these thumb drive distros lack some convieniences like audio drivers. My plan is to turn this drive into the mainstay development disk, and continue to experiment with Sidux as a side project. UPDATE: Unfortunately this disk does not boot on my old laptop (sigh!)
