Installing Linux on a 16 Mb Pen Drive
Goal: Get an OS on a pen drive which will boot on most computers allowing me portable access to all my files.
pendrivelinux.com [1]
First lets try out pendrivelinux.com I download their img file
Ubunto 7.10
Had trouble recognizing USB drive with outher distributions so used Ubunto Live CD distro
Steps:
- Saw USB drive already mounted when booting up live CD
- double clicked and noticed it was /dev/sdb1
- became super user : sudo su
- umount/dev/sdb1
- fdisk /dev/sdb1
- hit p
saw several partisition /dev/sdb1px
- mkfs.vfat warning
filesystem will be misinterpreted as 12 bit FAT without mount option "fat=16"
