Any advice on how to acheive this?
I have a slight edge-case, where I would like to install Debian Mint onto a 32GB flash drive, and boot from that. I have a Macbook Air and disk space is at a premium.
Googling around has been to no avail.
If it's possible (though absolutely not necessary) – my OSX and Debian files could be shared when booted into either – that would be great!
- mgcross 15y agoYou might need an external optical drive to install to the flash drive. But booting from USB may be difficult. You could try reFit http://refit.sourceforge.net/ http://refit.sourceforge.net/
- lloeki 15y ago> my OSX and Debian files could be shared when booted into either You can but you'll have to share data on a non-journaled HFS+ partition for it to be writable from Linux. Watch out for UIDs/GIDs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook#Home_Sharing https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook#Home_Sharing ArchLinux has their img booting from usb, so I don't see why not.
