[Trisquel-users] Re : How to install to USB ?

[magicbanana]

Well, I actually believe the method works for a USB disk as it works for a  
USB stick. I have never tried though. The system installed in this way can be  
persistent (i.e., your changes/files actually stay on the device so that you  
have them the next time you use it).

Notice that, nowadays, virtually all "normal" computers (I am not talking  
about smartphones!) can boot a USB device. You may need to specify the boot  
order in the BIOS or in the UEFI so that the computer tries to boot on the  
USB device before trying to boot on the hard disk. Notice also that Trisquel  
runs on virtually all "normal" computer. You may not have the Wifi card or  
the 3D acceleration working though.
