due 2 my weak.knowlege experimenting with w oses i find meself with no hdd pc but luckyly got mint.boot.flash drive i made when mint cinemon rafel was realised. have tried back track stick boot when it was on 4 but easily i gave up cose m not familiar wth unix and dos typing and scripting.
nw when i m with iso.boot.stick and save.stick, surely i ll need much help.
hope i m on good place though m lazy and heavy learner on binaries.

Welcome to LQ. Mint is a good distro to learn with.

BackTrack is now Kali, but it is not a good distro to learn with. It's specifically designed to do one thing--penetration testing--isn't particularly friendly to anything else.

I ran like you on a Dell XT2 Touchscreen with no hard drive and with a sd card with Linux-Lite on it as a persistent live sd card. Class 10 sd card so it was not too slow. It now has a 125 gig ssd hard drive.

Works well with the wacom pen included with the laptop and touchscreen also accepts finger inputs also. No special setup or work by me needed.

Howdy and Welcome.

Hi and **WELCOME**! I like hearing of your journey: enjoying Linux despite limited resources.

I'm curious: how do you post on LQ without a computer-GUI? (friend's/work/library computer?)

I use an old XP netbook for web-GUI, and VirtualBox for Linux but prefer CLI (because 1024x600 screen)
I also prefer easy .iso ("lazy...binaries"); I read DistroWatch.com (&download small .iso's)
Do you have a way to download other 'distro's? (internet & spare drive [usb])

It sounds like you want to use Linux for internet GUI (you mentioned Flash), without a HDD!
(what PC model? 64bitCPU!? amount of ram?). Could you buy a cheap (old/small) HDD for it?

A thought: LinuxZoo.net has full/root CentOS (&evil Kali&Win) VMs that anyone can access.
(I wonder if that might be of use to you...)

Anyway, Thanks for sharing & Best wishes! Enjoy LQ! (I do)

first it was an crack.w7x64 pc /a8v deluxe + athlon2,9dc + 4x500mbddr400/. i needed ms office but had none x64cracked so i sweated a lot to make it w7.32bit. than i added dual^tripple boot as apeared w8 and w10. i hated idea to log in ms each time usssing w8 w10 so i sweated lot /including loosing all and messing hdd/ and delet w8 and w10. it was an interesting mbr on baracuda 300. then i wanted to try linux and be faster couse couldnot find bettrer ram 4x1gb400 and made mint live cd on 8gb stick. few weaks ago i run on an old 80gb baracuda and wanted to make dual boot w7.32b and mint64b on new hdd. bios refused to see new hdd so i tried to install on old hdd but shit hapend and mbr was messed with mint. even couldnot install w7 from dvd couse drivers were eraesed. i picked out bouth hdd and now m running on live mint cd from flash ,probably it s reason why lq see me strange /without metadata. at the moment if wonna save some downoads must copie them from dawnloads to other stick. it is little longer but almost functual as ordinary pc.

Hi...

If you need help installing Mint to your hard drive, please feel free to create a separate thread in the "Newbie" or another appropriate forum concerning this issue, as I mentioned above. This forum is for introductions only.

Also, please watch the swearing, in part because LQ is visited by folks of all different age groups. Thanks!
