I have HP 2113 Mini- Note PC which has broken hard memmory and I wan't to run it live from 8GB small USB with persistent storage. I wan't to install 18.1 XFCE mint if it works or I could 16 XFCE mint or any other mint just if it works. I tried installing Kali Linux and managed to do that but the screen resolution is not supported so I get only a big zoomed in part of the desktop.
I have read, that you don't want to install wine, from the Puppy Package. Might be the same thing for me, as I installed BOINC from the Ubuntu packages. Doesn't play well with Linux, so I run from an external USB HDD).
Could anybody help me with settuping the USB for that i read forums and some say you need 2 USB some don't some it isn't possible. So if somebody have any experience like this and wan't to help please leave a reply. The screen resolution of hp is 1280 x 768. USB form USB installation works the PC uses the USB like HDD/SDD I just need to optimize some features to minimize the writing of the PC like putting the ext2 and don't making swap particion because it is used for hibernate etc and I'm not planning to do it.
I needed to cancel the installation last time I'm going to do it from the start now. Please tell me how did you do that. When I insert and USB made with or without the persistence the laptop just boots up to the desktop and offers you know Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu you know. I think it is same with Mint I'm installing Mint right now and doesn't offer me Live USB persistence or what ever.
The tool Kees noted only shows screenshots on how to make persistent USB on Windows, when I do that and boot the laptop without HDD or SDD it boots automaticly to the desktop with installation for full Linux Mint/Ubuntu you understand? It doesn't give me menu where I can choose 'Live USB Persistence' or whatever shows for you. I had pre-downloaded ISO-s of next systems: Linux Mint 18.1 Linux Mint 16 Ubuntu 13.04 Ubuntu 16.04.2 I first tried Mint 18.1 it says in installation I don't have enough memory I need 9.6 GB i think and I only have 8 GB Then I go to Mint 16. Bad ISO it won't boot I go to Ubuntu 16.04.2 again the memory problem it says I need 8.6 GB and I have 8 GB USB drive I go to Ubuntu 13.04 I install it everything and it finishes installation and asks for reboot. Then I remove the USB with ISO and it boots just to purple screen and stays like that. I'm thinking what should I do now. I installed Mint with 1.5 GB persistent storage on a 8 GB USB-stick, using this exact same UUI-tool on my main Windows PC.
The stick now still has nearly 5 GB free space. And when I boot from it (after pressing F11 and selecting that USB-stick as boot device, it boots to the standard Linux desktop (which indeed still has an option to install it, but that's not needed, of course, unless you want to install Linux on some other hard disk). That menu with the checkbox for persistence only appears in the UUI-too when you run it in Windows to make that bootable USB-stick. Once you boot from that, it won't reappear, since it's not inside Linux, but inside the UUI-tool in Windows.
However, when made that stick on my main Windows PC it didn't ask for a reboot when ready. There is no reason at all why Windows should have to reboot when the UUI-tool is ready with making that stick. So that's strange. But if it boots from the stick you made and you see the Linux desktop, you're ready. Happy computing with your Linux.
I got confused with the install icon on the desktop, so I make bootable usb stick with pendrivelinux iso image of linux on it and 4 GB persistent storage and just boot the pc and I'm ready to go and save my files on it or.? It asked for reboot when I finished the installation on the laptop not on the windows after making bootable usb. I'm using two pc-s to do this npt on the same as you see up I have an laptop hp mini 2133 without HDD/SDD so no need for F11 or accesing the boot menu to setup for him to boot from usb because the usb is the only thing in it.
It can be done, but as you discovered, you need the room, currently more than 8GB. The best way to do full install, if you have a large enough USB flashdrive, is to boot a LIVE DVD and clk on the Install icon on it's desktop and then point the boot part to the proper /dev/sdx device, and point the OS to the partition you want it on, the /dev/sdxy, where sd is scsi drive, the x is the actual drive (a, b, c, ) and the y is the assigned partition number.
Seriously though, a USB flashdrive works better if you create it LIVE (high compression squash file) and with a 'persistent' /casper-rw partition for saving all changes into. The slower read speed on flashdrives means full install that takes up 8-9 GB takes longer to read and boot from than a 2GB compressed system the LIVE version uses.
Items you will need. Puppy Linux Live CD.
SD card. USB SD card adapter Puppy Linux is an open-source operating system designed to use minimal system resources, ensuring that the operating system runs well even when installed on older systems. Because of the small size of the system's core files, Puppy Linux can be installed and run from a CD as a 'Live CD' or from other sources such as a hard drive or USB drive.
With an SD card adapter, it is even possible to install Puppy Linux to a standard SD card and use it to boot your computer. Click the 'Install' icon on the desktop to open the installation options window. Click the button indicated to launch the 'Universal Installer' from the 'Install Puppy' portion of the window.
Insert the SD card into the SD card adapter and plug the adapter into a USB port on your computer. Select the 'USB Flash Drive' option from the Puppy Universal Installer menu and click 'OK.'
Then, select the USB adapter from the list of installed devices. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish installing Puppy Linux onto your SD card.
Once installation is complete, you may reboot your computer. Choose the option to not save your session information, and then allow your computer to boot normally. Booting from an SD Card Insert your SD card into the SD card adapter and plug it into your computer. Reboot the computer. Press the 'Boot Menu' key on the initial boot screen.
Choose the 'USB Drive' option from the boot menu choices. Press a key when indicated to boot from the SD card in the adapter. Puppy Linux will boot up and launch.
