#Install linux on usb 3.0 for linux installation install#Considering what's required to install to UEFI (see, e.g., this tutorial), I suspect something similarly complicated is required to create a USB drive which will work there. It occurs to me the procedure I'm going through, even if it works, will only produce a USB drive which works with BIOS/legacy boot. Meanwhile, I've thought of another issue which may be a show stopper. Presumably I could get around that by restoring the status quo ante, i.e., reformatting the drive in FAT32 and letting the installer have at it again. What is surprising is that, when I went to cue up another go at installation, using a DVD instead of the multi-ISO flash drive, the installer wasn't able to recognize the target drive had been installed. Unsurprisingly, the drive to which I was installing doesn't work, though it does have 7.2 GB of data in nineteen folders, same ones as the hard drive File System except no folder for cdrom. As is the flash drive from which I booted the live session (a Multi-System drive with multiple ISOs). Ended up having to do a hard shutdown, but booted up fine afterwards so at least the hard drive is okay. To eliminate the issue, I did check BIOS and didn't find such a setting.Īnyhoo, as expected, the install didn't complete. Rather, I assume it was just one of those things, where processes sometimes lose their way. Pretty sure that wasn't the problem, Jerry, as both flash drives were blinking for over an hour as files were copied. For the visually inclined, here's a screenshot: " button, but that just bounced me to sda (my hard drive), which I very definitely don't want to modify. Hit "Install" and got error message: "No root system is defined". ![]() Chose the USB drive (/dev/sdc) in the first dialogue box and also for installation of boot loader. So, I opened a live session, plugged in a USB drive and started the install, selecting "Something else" for installation type. If he likes, he'll do dual boot later (probably using two drives rather than partitions). Of course, a USB system will be much slower, but this is simply a trial. I want to do this so I can set up a friend to play with LM without the restrictions of a live session but without him having to install a dual boot. #Install linux on usb 3.0 for linux installation full version#You just create a normal live DVD or USB flash drive of Linux Mint, then put the USB drive that you want to install a full version of Linux Mint onto into a USB port (or another USB port), boot up to the Live DVD or Live USB flash drive, double click the install desktop icon, and when asked where to install, select the other USB flash drive. #Install linux on usb 3.0 for linux installation portable#This is what I have done for a portable full version of Linux Mint that can be updated, programs installed, utilities installed, etc. Of course, you could just install a full version of Linux Mint onto a USB stick very easily, but you would need a 16gb or greater USB flash drive. ![]()
