Just out of curiosity has anyone tried using the installer script (which i'm sure is the same one Ubuntu uses) to install to a USB stick?
Under Ubuntu 10.04 i was able to install ubuntu to my usb drive as if it was a HDD. If it is possible with BT that could just eliminate the persistence stuff with unetbootin and LiLi right away.
Nope i haven't tried it yet with BT, just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it.
i used this tutorial, works perfect.
USB Live

I did this with bt4 and it worked "installing it to a usb like if it was an hdd" but haven't tried with BT5 yet.Quote:

The only plus I see to that method is that maybe when you install BT to a usb like a normal hdd install then the system will read and write a lot to the flash memory which might make it degrade a lot faster.
Any ideas regarding these 2 methods ?!

Thats the same thing I was thinking too, hence why i made the thread. I wonder how many people are aware that you can do it that way. As far as negative side effects go, it is only a USB stick, can't see it making much of a big difference. I'll have to give it a shot later and see how well it performs as a full install to HDD. Maybe the read and write would be longer as a full install vs a Live Install with a small persistence?Quote:
