This is a most informative post; thanks for writing it. If anyone wants to see a multiboot system up and running, then follow my URL. SLAX and Knoppix run nicely on a USB drive with GRUB.

Until better USB flash drives are available, use a combination of USB flash to boot and USB HD to write your hearts content.

USB flash drives still have limited number of erase/write cycles.

I’ve run these before, and they run great. What I would like to see, however, is the exact same thing, minus the squash file system. With 8, 16 and 32 GB flash drives, I don’t understand why we still need squashfs. Not only is it non-writable, but it takes up a ton of RAM as everything that is uncompressed must reside in RAM. I want a fully functional linux system on a non compressed file system with full write capabilities booting of a USB flash device. Squashfs was necessary and not a problem when booting off CD because CD’s are not writable anyway. That time has passed. With flash drives as big as they are, I can see no reason why this can’t be done.

THAT is what I’m waiting for. I’d do it myself, but right now, I don’t have the time or talent to make it happen.

Hey, great article. I’ve used Slax on CD for awhile now but have been looking for a distro to run off a USB drive. I’m thinking I’ll have to try Pentoo.
