I followed the instructions for creating a bootable USB stick. When I attempt to boot from the USB, however, Ubuntu will not fully run.

I am able to get a plain purple screen with the word Ubuntu in orange centered on the screen. Have I missed a step or have I done something wrong?

There is a lot that might be wrong if it just freezes there. One thing you might try is to use Ubuntu in its fail-safe mode. You can do so (from last I remember) by hitting F4 on the Ubuntu menu, and selecting fail-safe mode. This will run the live CD in "safe graphics" mode which is generally the problem with Live CD environments.

One thing you can do to troubleshoot this problem is to press F8 when the purple screen appears. This will show you the boot process allowing you to see exactly where the boot process hangs.
