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:

  1. Saw USB drive already mounted when booting up live CD
  2. double clicked and noticed it was /dev/sdb1
  3. became super user : sudo su
  4. umount/dev/sdb1
  5. fdisk /dev/sdb1
  6. hit p

saw several partisition /dev/sdb1px


  1. mkfs.vfat warning

filesystem will be misinterpreted as 12 bit FAT without mount option "fat=16"
