I found some old guides describing how to make a USB with Linux and Brainwallet.

But these were quite complicated and required downloads from several sources.

Is there a single zip files with the complete package? For safety reasons it would be good if there was one zip file with a known MD5 hash that has been verified.

Is that safe enough? I do not think so, you can use blockchain services directly.

Two sources. A Linux distro and https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/archive/master.zip  Too complicated?

Who would you trust to verify your "all in one zip file"?

Thanks for the link. Tried it out. Easy to use.

I'd trust such a zip if it were downloadable from a source such as github AND it had been around for some months with no negative comments on bitcointalk, reddit, etc.

Now running Linux USB with brainwallet. Was a lot easier than I thought   :) :) :)

First I downloaded and installed Linux Live USB Creator - http://www.linuxliveusb.com

It was very straight forward. I had no idea which Linux to install so I just chose the first option.

After the Linux USB was created, I added the bitadress folders to it (unzipped).

To start the USB on boot I had to click F2 to go to BIOS. At setup I had to put the USB boot options on top and then save.

Next time I booted Linux started up (be patient, it takes several minutes).

Under folder "cdrom" I found the bitadress folder, then found the .html file and opened it in firefox.

Just discovered a CD alternative.
BTC-Puppy is an ISO-file with linux+brainwallet.
I burned it to a disk and it works well.
