LMDE USB Persistent Boot
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 6:33 pm
Dear LM Community,
Your Mission should you chose to accept it is to help me create an LMDE USB Persistent Boot Drive.....
In all seriousness I have already created Ubuntu - and Ubuntu-base distros - persistently on a usb drive using casper-rw and separately with UNetBootIn, I have also managed to get SystemResuceCD ISO to boot from grub2 I currently have installed on a usb drive using this walk-through;
(http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multi ... ing-linux/)
(For people reading this link, In the formating stage - at stage 8 - Instead of using the first cylinder I used the second as grub2 was not installing due to lack of space).
Now my challenge is to use the debian live helper to put LMDE on a usb pen drive (I'm currently playing with a 2Gb MicroSD in an adapter, but will eventually be using a USB HDD). I have managed to find this website - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-you ... tribution/ -but here is where I stumble. When I do sudo apt-get update it tells me. I have tried changing in sources.list to ....squeeze main, and to ....squeeze-snapshots main contrib non-free, but no to avail.
*Quick edit* gives me the following error message =
W: GPG error: http://live.debian.net squeeze-snapshots InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6F95B4996CA7B5A6
If it helps anyone I am running LMDE 201012 (the day it came out, and updated via terminal since) on a Dell Insprion 6400. Just a thought, maybe I need to run it from LM 11 Main instead?
If this is solved or I find a solution, I intend to turn what knowledge I gain into a Tutorial, with credit due where appropriate of-course/open-source Sorry couldn't help myself....
Thank you all in advance for your help.
