install full version to usb flash drive
by notbob11 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6JQ4K)
I would like to have a full installation of Slackware on a flash drive, just like I have others - Debian, Mint, Fedora, Arch
Here's the skit.
I used a Slackware live usb stick (/dev/sdc) to install Slackware to a different usb flash drive (/dev/sdb). Didn't have a problem with the console based process.
First I used the suggested partitioning scheme, without a small EFI bootable partition. At the bootloader step I was offered the option to install to my hard drive (/dev/sda1) Not what I wanted.
Then I started over and made an EFI partition as /dev/sdb1. Same option given. I thought I would try the install to usb stick option. "No new usb stick found, but if you had inserted one, remove it now."
Then I was offered to install Elilo to the hard drive. Not desired.
Any suggestions will be attempted until something works. At that point I will likely stop.
