Installing Linux Live on a USB stick. Such a great task?!


Hi: alright. This is an Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14. But that has
nothing to do with the task, except at the BIOS/UEFI menu level. Well
then, I was advised by a moderator to install Fedora 27 Live in UEFI on the
stick, and have not succeded yet. This is what I did:
(a) I wrote the stick with the image (Fedora Media Writer).
(b) In the bios I choose UEFI and Secure Boot = disabled.
(c) Fedora put on screen:
1. Start Fedora-Workstation_Live 27
Two more options.
(d) I chose 1 and try to edit the line pressing Tab and adding the option
noapic (a must).

But here lies the difficulty. What I really enter by pressing Tab is
a session of some editor (emacs like) the command line which goes after
the boot prompt. If I simply add noapic to the end, the computer freezes.
If I add nothing, the computer freezes. Any way out?

Did you test this USB stick with some other computer?

I get the feeling that on the other thread you said you were unable to change secure boot or uefi.

How did you use the media writer? Different computer?

Fedora 27 should boot as a hard drive order choice. When you boot to this usb, go directly to bios and see if the usb shows up as a hard drive.

You didn't really need to disable secure boot.

F27 properly made on a usb should boot to almost any combination of boot types, uefi, csm or what not.

See this for more tips. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_t...d_use_Live_USB


I just did a dd input the iso image and dumped to usb. Be careful on that command.

I have only one computer. I also boot in Legacy (BIOS) with same result. The tip I already read it.

I already used Arch Linux and saw it ran. I'm now try to make a live
USB stick with arch-linux-2018.02.01-x86_64.iso and reevaluate the
situation.
