live usb - 8GB usb become 1GB after installing ubuntu?

Is Ubuntu really taking up 7 GB from my USB or am I missing something?

The rest of the space would need to be partitioned before it's accessible; you could use GParted to do that.


Ultimately, where you want to set up a portable OS, you should refer to one of these questions, depending on your needs:
