Noob here, running the latest Mint from a USB flash drive [SOLVED]
Everything looks awesome, internet is smooth, just a couple issues.
I have to run from USB because the Motherboard does not recognize the SATA ports (no hard drive, no dvd drive)
When I insert an SD card, it says "Unable to mount 1GB Volume" and
"Adding Read ACL for uid 999 to '/media/mint' failed; Operation not supported"
This happens with multiple SD cards, even brand new and I can confirm they work on a Windows box.
When I look in "Files", I can see the device and it correctly reports the size.
But if I click to Open/Mount, I get the same error.
Is this a limitation based on the fact that I am running the OS from the USB Flash drive?
Any help is appreciated!

Re: Mint from a USB stick
Have u made this into a bootable drive? Also why would your mother board only be recognizing the sd and nothing else? I think that might be your issue. I ran my whole Linux in persistent on a 4g usb, but Linux was only using half the drive.

Yes, the flash drive is bootable.
I knew the SATA ports on the motherboard were bad, there is no hard drive or dvd drive connected.
I knew I could run Mint from a stick without a hard drive.
I used the persistent option when creating the bootable usb stick.

Linux Mint is up and running just fine.
If I restart, I see the Mint splash screen, is that what you mean?

I was wondering if this is possible and you guys just gave me the answer that I needed. I just wish I wouldn't encounter any problems installing it.
