Re: [Staffslug] Linux on a USB stick?
I'd suggest taking a look at Puppy Linux. It runs in a 'live' mode but
when it is shut down it writes any changes you have made to a file on
the USB stick. These are then reloaded the next time you boot.

Ok, so I finally have a PC that will allow me to boot from a USB
stick. I can set up a 'live' USB stick the same as a 'live' CD/DVD.
Done this a couple of times over the weekend with both Ubuntu and
Lubuntu (the 2nd didn't work for some reason). But, I don't want a
live version I want to be able to run the distro, and it doesn't have
to be Ubuntu, from the USB stick and be able to save stuff to it or
alter what's on there if I wish just like HDD. The stick I want to
use is only 2gb so I know I am limited hence me stating it doesn't
have to be Ubuntu (or even Xubuntu). Trouble is everywhere I look it
only gives instructions for creating a 'live' stick :-(
Am I on a hiding to nothing with this one?
Oh, yes, it does have to be a GUI desktop but I'm fairly happy with
the lightweights (openbox, fluxbox etc).
