Hello
[ToddAndMargo]
I went the route of doing a direct install to a flash drive
of Fedora Core 25, x64.
Thank you for sharing.
How did you make the direct install, did you install a live usb onto a
different usb stick?
I booted off of
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/Spins/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-25-1.3.iso
which I dd'ed to a flash drive.
Then I used the install to drive utility and picked my target Flash
drive instead of the local hard drive
Another question I'd like to ask, is about booting the device on
different machines. Does it boot both on UEFI and on old BIOS systems?
Oh my goodness gracious what a pain in the neck. Each machine
boots different. On some, "legacy USB" has to be active in BIOS.
Others you have to turn off UEFI (even though the stick supports
both). Some Legacy has to be off. Yada, yada, yada.
A lot of the time to get into BIOS, I press all the "f" keys as
fast as I can. Some BIOS'es have a "boot override"
One laptop I came across, you have to press a little button
with a pin to get into bios.
My favorite BIOS'es are the ones where "f12" goes straight
to boot override.
Same issues you have with the Live USB.
If you do this, make a "dd" backup of the stick.
Oh ya, and "How dare you boot into anything other
than Windows !!!!" :'(
Thanks and regards, Lars
