Unhappy Installing UBUNTU on to a seperate USB Hard drive


Installing UBUNTU on to a seperate USB Hard drive. I would like to install a Linux system on a USB Harddrive, so that I am able to use this with other computers. I am a novice with Linux and would like to know the procedure for placing the bootstrap. As the operating system installation procedures often place this on C on a dual bootup. So what would I need to do to instruct the setup programme to install all on to the USB Hard drive?

Or am I on the wrong track?

Any help most appreciated.

Steve
