installed to 16GB flash drive
Hello, fellow linuxians.
I tried any number of live CDs,
going back to at least Ubuntu 5,
and who knows haw many different distros.
I finally got my winblows box straightened out.
Had a problem w/ Seagate 7200.12 HDDs.
Decided to do a linux install.
Choose a 16GB PNY flash drive, formatted to ex2,
1 main partition [12.9GB] and 1 swap part. [2GB].
I had already tried this on earlier version,
w/ a 8GB, and it seemed too small.
This time I used Ubuntu 12.04.
Took a long time to install, and it works,
but it runs SO SLOOOWWWLY, and it hangs,
w/ some modules crashing.
My box is homebuilt, specs as follows:
AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus,
Asus M4A88T-M/USB3,
Crucial DDR3 1333 (PC10600) RAM, [4 sticks, 2x4GB + 2x2GB = 11264 MB Usable Memory],
Seagate Barricuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB,
Seagate Barricuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1000GB,
Asus DRW-24B3LT 24X Burner SATA,
using onboard video, ATI/AMD HD 4250,
and the PNY USB 2.0 FD, [14.9GB].
I *REALLY* want to use the flash drive to have a portable linux install.
I would REALLY appreciate some help with this,
as my linux is still pretty lame.
I used to "cmd" DOS,
and I can *usually* fix a winblows box,
but I'm still too newb know squat about linux.
I hoped that the flash install would let me restart in linux, and start learning how to "sudo apt-get" and all the rest.
