Wich distro is most suitable to install on USB drive (doesn't touch internal hdd/boot)
by Grobe from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZAZB)
Hi.
I'd plan to install an fully working Linux distro (i.e. not just a live medium) on a usb drive.
And to make sure that an installer doesn't make the boot sector on the internal hdd/sdd in the computer used to make this install, I need to disconnect the drive while installing.
That lead me to think to ask - is there a list of distros that is safe to install on an usb drive, without touching the main hdd ?
