I am currently on a live USB medium of UBUNTU. I am testing it, it is running from the USB, my RAM and what ever else is needed to run a live USB OS of Ubuntu.

Now I have another USB-stick of which I wish to use the full Linux Terminal that is currently loaded upon my computer of which I am using to type to you, so as to create a new live-USB of another Linux distribution.

Is this possible and if so how should I go about it?

I can download such distributions as Slackware, MX and/or Arch. I can us DD so as to copy it over to my other USB of which is formatted to a fat32. How should I do this and is this possible and if so, WHY?!?!?

To clarify Given the capabilities of Ubuntu, Debian, the live *NIX SYSTEM and other factors: Is it possible to boot into a live Ubuntu USB, connect another formatted USB stick to the same computer, format/modify the latter USB stick another Linux distribution (let us say it is lubuntu), restart the pc and install lubuntu?!?!?!

Creating Live USB using Live USB.

Download the ISO's you want, (we will assume they are official Ubuntu flavors for now), and use the built in Startup Disk Creator to make more Live USB's.

You can set Firefox to save the downloads to your other USB or copy them there by hand later.

Better yet, download mkusb and create a persistent USB to work from. See: Can I install mkusb in Ubuntu live USB? A Persistent USB can save you a lot of work.

You can also make a SDC install Persistent on a by boot basis.

Press shift at boot and esc, then F6 and esc again. then type a space and the word "persistent"

The session will persistent.

This must be done every boot where persistence in wanted.
