Hello Cogniscenti, I am wanting to install Debian to a USB stick. Has anyone attempted this, and what problems and special techniques are required? I have UNetbootin, but might need to get on a later install, this IBM Thinkpad is still running Hardy Heron, and I need to unjam the package management, it is wedged with a removed older kernel, but the modules not removed, they were removed in the wrong order. There should be a way to force. Even then, with 256Mb of RAM, and limited HDD space, more to the point to migrate to next PC.
On the latter point, I am wanting to transfer the contents of the home directories to a 2TB Seagate external USB3 HDD. It appears to be NTFS, and the Hardy Heron support is "flaky". I can attach to another later laptop with Debian (Gnome3 and not preferred) or Knoppix on USB. Any comments about resizing and repartitioning? I would like to retain a NTFS stub with the Seagate software, which includes the serial number of the drive.
