Hm, maybe I should format it again :S, yesterday I wasn't thinking about the lifetime, but because of the journale I was ambivalent, because I wasn't sure if ext2 might be faster, anyhow I formated with ext3. > There are a couple of ways of approaching this problem, depending on how > you will be using it.

Yes, but I'm not only thinking about an "USB-64 Studio", it should be a hard disk install, because if 64 Studio will be fine with my hardware for MIDI, I will just copy it to my hard disk (and change some things I might do, to protect the USB stick). As to that I won't cancel the actual USB-install. > This is a good start: > http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ The better solution for USB, but I did intendedly a hard disk install. I read about the different kinds of USB installs on http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ before I did the install. > [snip] > > Hth, Yes, thank you. I guess I will set up my USB stick now, using the ext3 file system, but within the next days I will backup the USB install, format the stick to ext2 and restore the USB install, if this is possible. I don't know if it's possible to get it bootable doing it that way, resp. if it's only possible to restore it bootable, by getting the same file system. *?* :D
