HOWTO install 201012 Gnome 64 on USB flash
Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2010 12:54 pm
Hi!
I) This assistance describes how to install Mint Debian on an USB flash drive - only to use on one computer (you used to install),
because a grub.cfg is generated with the operating systems installed on your hard disk.
Note:
There are 2 other possibilities:
II) Installing a Live USB
the best way: PartedMagic/ UNetbootin
III) Installing a persistent USB
e.g. after having booted Julia: Menu > System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator
PART 1 of 6
1. You can use this guide for installation onto your hard disk, replacing target sdc1 (-> partition sdaX of hd) and boot loader device sdc (installation into MBR of first hd: sda, not sda1).
or
2. How to install 201101/ 32bit onto hard disk, see: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=63013
Devices:
sda hard disk
sdb USB flash drive with live LMDE 201012 (created with PartedMagic/ UNetbootin)
sdc USB flash drive 2: destination to install the new Mint Debian
0. With GParted I prepared an USB flash drive [sdc]: Format [ext4], label [LMDE] and flag [boot]
1. Boot from new live Mint Debian
2. Start the installer
3. Choose language, timezone and keyboard layout (Model + layout!)
