I was booting a laptop from a 64 gb flash drive. I partitioned the flash drive with root, swap and home, and made it so that the laptop would not boot without it; which was interesting, but now it keeps looking for the flash drive that I don't want to use at present. Anyway, an interesting experiment, to which I may yet return. My aim was to make a sort of portable mini-computer that I could take round in my pocket, and use it to boot up any computer (with permission, or one of my own). That way, I could always have a mini-clone of my running system, with everything available that I have here, and run it from any compatible computer, and have my system everywhere. I did not, as some thought, merely make a bootable iso copy of an installation disc (using dd), but rather a complete working system, just with a smaller home partition, because I didn't want to keep anything there permanently. Bill P.S. I haven't got awake enough to get on the Internet yet and look at your page, but will do so after I make some coffee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
