(Maybe I misunderstand you, but you did say to dd the iso to a USB, right?) I do know how to copy the iso to a flash drive and make it bootable. Useful, but I don't do it much. That's not what I am doing. I am installing my complete operating system, and all packages that I use, to a flash drive, then my flash drive itself becomes a kind of portable computer. I partition it like the hard drive on my computer, with /, swap, and /home partitions. Then I just use the hardware of another computer to boot, but my flash drive is itself a clone of the running system on both my desktop and my laptop. That way, wherever I go, I can have my running system, with all my settings, preferred packages, etc. Bill > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > trinity-users-unsubscribe@...
