How to Install LINUX on a USB DRIVE!

Hello everyone, today I am showing you how to install a Linux distribution to a USB drive. I am using Linux Mint, however the process will be similar across many different distributions.

Hey everyone! If you're looking to install a different distro, or want more detail, check out my new video here!

No messing around, no silly intro that I have to skip. Straight to the point as it should be

I just removed my whole file system trying to install it, very nice

From one Tyler to another... this is the way we roll. Straight to the point, 2 USB drives because managing partitions sucks, color themed USB flash drives, Mint because its easy... bravo brother.

tip: use a video capture card. It captures everything coming from the hdmi cable, no need to start a recording

So I have installed fedora on an external hdd following your guide. But when I plug it in to another device, it does not show up in my boot options ?

Presumably Linux Kodachi can be used from a pen drive as well ?

Great video, finally found good Linux guy. 👍 😃

i got really confused as to where you wanted to download to and where the the computer actually chose its default target download drive(c : ? ) . So there is some shuffling of down load files off the C drive to the to usb drives it appears but the video feed is too small to read.

Thanx for that. I'll try it later in the week. I've been trying with with YUMI and making a bootable USB HD but can only get about 7 Gig of usable space on a 120Gig SSD USB3 drive. This looks like a good solution for testing properly with.

Whenever I try mine. It looks like it’s running a bunch of lines of code. Somewhere in those lines it says error. I’m not sure what to do

[mathyu]

been a long time since I've created a boot drive and haven't touched linux so this video was very helpful thanks!

[thefishinggamekeeper]

So I made it to the boot on the target pc. Stuck on a screen with a blinking icon. Nothing else is booting. Little help?

I got 64mb mmc card, and i want to install bare bone linux prompt on that, how can i do that?

[nikitapanchenkov]

Is it possible to connect the USB to the iPad Pro and run Linux there?

[ExistentialDawn]

Can i install Linux mint, on my new PC from external ssd drive, does that drive need to be empty for install?

Its a great way to get on to the library computers. Here in the UK the libraries are still using Windows 7 and in all honesty they are slow and generally horrible to use but these computers are very capable of running Linux. They also have a time limit and they require' I.D to log in to them which makes things even slower. Personally rather than slowly kill a USB drive I'd use an SSD in an external USB enclosure and run it that way. I could then use the computers when ever I'm out at pretty much any library I can use the computers with my portable USB SSD and run Linux, access my email etc and the beauty of it all is that all my information is secure on my SSD plus running Linux is much more secure than outdated Windows 7 because I certainly wont be checking my emails on outdated public library operating systems that are probably loaded with all kinds of nasty stuff.

i suggest writing a article on this too!
