=== Build your own ===
Building your own is not terribly difficult.  The following will allow you to build your own USB Thumbdrive and assumes you are using Ubuntu to do the building. ''Note: This is not the same process we used to create the original USB images, that process is far more involved, but this will suffice for getting you a bootable device.''

You will need the following:
* A USB thumb drive that is at least 2GB in size
* A Ubuntu Desktop or Server 14.04 LTS ISO image. (Later versions will also work)
** We use the Desktop image to provide a more useful system.  Please note that the actual test tools are console based so using Desktop or Server here is completely at your discretion.
* A computer running Ubuntu (Desktop here, we need the GTK Tools for the following, there is likely a way to do this purely from console, this is just easier and faster to describe).

These next steps will create the bootable USB stick initially.
# Insert the USB thumb drive into your computer running Ubuntu Desktop.
# Open the Dash (Hit the Windows key or click on the top most icon on the Unity Panel).
# Type USB and when you see '''Startup Disk Creator''' click on that to launch the tool.
# Set the following items in USB Creator GTK (Also known as Startup Disk Creator).
## Under '''Source disc image''', click '''Other''' and locate your Ubuntu ISO image and click '''Open'''.  It should now appear in the upper display.
## In '''Disk to use''', select the USB Thumb Drive you wish to build.
## Click '''Erase Disk''' to clear the disk of all data.  You will need to provide your password to do this.
## Select '''Stored in reserved extra space''' and move the slider to at least 1GB, preferably more if your Thumb Drive has the space.
# Click '''Make startup disk'''.
## This will take a few moments.  You will see a password prompt that you must use before the bootloader can be written to the thumb drive.
# When complete, exit the Startup Disk Creator.

Once the above steps are complete, you should now have a bootable Ubuntu USB Thumb drive with persistent storage of between 1 - 4 GB.  Now you need to boot something from that and complete the next steps to have a bootable USB drive with OCP Ready on it.
# Insert the USB thumb drive into a machine that has internet access.
# Boot the machine and select the USB thumb drive from the boot menu if that machine doesn't automatically boot from USB.
## In the boot menu, you may see two entries, one for EFI and one for Legacy BIOS.  Use the Legacy BIOS entry to load the bootloader.
# At the boot menu, select '''Try Ubuntu without installing'''.  This is the default selection.
# After Ubuntu has booted, open a console by opening the Dash and typing "Terminal" into the search box and clicking on the Terminal icon.
# In the Terminal, perform the following steps:
## <code>$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:opencompute-developers/ocp-certification-tools-ppa</code>
### Hit Enter to add the PPA when prompted.
## <code>$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hardware-certification/public</code>
### Again, hit Enter to add the PPA when prompted.
## <code>$ sudo apt update</code>
## <code>$ sudo apt upgrade>/code>
## <code>$ sudo apt install opencompute-ready</code>
### Note this may fail because the Live USB environment lacks the Universe repository by default.  If this does fail for you, the following will resolve dependency problems:
#### <code>$ sudo add-apt-repository universe</code>
#### <code>$ sudo apt update</code>
#### <code>$ sudo apt install opencompute-ready</code>

At this point, you should now have a working USB thumb drive with opencompute-ready installed.  To test this, do the following:
# Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
# Click '''Shut Down...'''
# Shut the system down.
# After it is powered off fully, power it back on.
## Again, you may need to enter the Boot Menu and force the system to boot from the USB stick if that is not in your default boot order.
# Select '''Try Ubuntu without installing''' from the boot menu, as before.
