Slack on a thumb drive? Suggestions and pointers requested
Hi there,
Someone gave me a 128 GB thumb drive. I'd like to use it as a bootable thumb drive with full-blown Slackware on it. The thing is, I have no idea on how to do it except for the vague notion that it is indeed possible. So, how can I do it? If you can give links or pointers to information that would be really appreciated. Some information that I would like to have:
Thanks in advance! |
How to boot Slackware from a thumb drive
never did try to install lilo on an usb device however, Didier Spaier shared some knowledge in this thread How to define swapspace and tmp drives so that I could use local storage instead of a thumb drive (I'd like to avoid frying my drive too soon). by editing /etc/fstab as with lilo, you would also want to use uuid's instead of /dev/node |

Hi Eduardo,
Google helped me find an old post answering a similar question. I think you could try the same method, just replacing "external HDD" with "USB stick". Probably the Code:
append="rootdelay=30" Also, it's better, before chroot in step # 5 to insert a step #4bis. Type as root: Code:
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc |
Thank you! these links are really useful. Now, a question: how would be LILO better than ISOLINUX for bootable media?
