[Trisquel-users] Re : how to install Trisquel 8 on an USB stick or micro SD?

[lcerf]

The problem with USB sticks or SD cards is that they have much shorter  
lifespans when you write a lot onto them.  Non-journaling filesystems (as  
nadebula.1984 suggests) help... but bring their own risks of losing data, for  
instance in case of power cut during a write.  If your hard disk is failing,  
the best is to acquire another one.  They are rather cheap nowadays: ~50€  
for a 1-TB HDD.
