Re: [Trisquel-users] install a full Trisquel on a USB flash drive

[chris]

An installed copy of Trisquel on a flash drive under any condition (disabling  
swap, using special filesystems, including read-only) is going to be terribly  
unreliable and slow. Anybody who has done significant testing in real world  
conditions knows it just doesn't work. Once you start applying security  
updates and such and the constant removal to and from the USB port will  
result in the drive being killed off. It's one thing to plug and unplug a USB  
drive once or twice a week for years, but try doing that a few times every  
day and you won't have a functioning drive a month from now.
