Hi All,

I went the route of doing a direct install to a flash drive
of Fedora Core 25, x64.  I mainly use it for rescuing
Windows machines.  Also use it for networking and such
(Linux has all the "cool tools".)

Pluses:

1) no worries about losing space when you delete
2) you can mount he drive from a running Linux system
   and transfer files back and forth
3) you can have fun cherrying it out for  your needs,

Minuses:
   It is pretty much a one shot deal when using it on a
   customer site.  After that the disk corrupts.

So, I made a gold copy with "dd" and restored it after
every use at a customer site.

Workaround, in fstab, add "sync" after "defaults" on
all your drive entries:

    UUID=xxx /     ext4 defaults,sync 1 1
    UUID=yyy /boot ext4 defaults,sync 1 2
    UUID=zzz swap  swap defaults,sync 0 0

So far, this stick has been in and out about six times
and hasn't corrupted, which is about five more times
than I ever got before.

-T
