Hi,
I'm reading documentation [1] for Fedora on a USB stick. The only option
to have a portable fedora on a stick seems to be by creating an overlay
FS and this certainly leads to getting out of disk space at some point.
I would really like to create Fedora on USB that I can plug anywhere and
work off it.
I was thinking that perhaps I can just install regular fedora on a USB
stick like I would do on a hard drive. Then it can be updated and used
just like any other Fedora machine. Perhaps disable persistent logging
and swap so that flash memory doesn't wear out.
One issue I presently know about is dracut. It creates by default images
that only support a specific hardware. i.e. if I install kernel on a
machine with an nforce disk controller, it will put in intird only that
module thus Fedora will not boot on a machine with AHCI controller.
Maybe this wouldn't matter when all things are on the USB drive but then
can there be a problem with different USB controller modules?
I was wondering if anybody tried that and has tips for greated portability.
Thank you,
Aleksandar

I carry around a 240 GB SSD in a USB 3.1 carrier with FC 28 Beta on it.
It use to have FC27 on it, but I upgraded. It took all night.
As far as speed goes, it operated much slower than native Fedora, but
it operates somewhat faster than native Windows "I Can't Count" (w10),
which always amuses me.
I use it to rescue Windows machines and to administer networks.
(Linux has all the cool tools.)
I adore carrying around my own operating system. And one
that works well to boot.
The one thing I don't like is that it will only boot off
of EUFI.
Anyone know how to get it to dual boot off of legacy BIOS as well as EUFI?
