How? Easy! We only need to have a  Ubuntu CD Image, which we can download from the download section of the oficial Ubuntu site, then we enter the "System" menu, and enter the submenu "administration" and look for the  "USB boot disc creator" entrie.
Once we started the creater, we need to specify the path of our CD Image, we've downloaded before, and insert the pendrive, finally we need to determine how much space we want to assign to Ubuntu and how much space it'll can use to save our files on the pendrive.
