After spending 3 to 4 frustrating days trying to install Linux Mint on a usb stick from Mint live (using many other tutorials with no success I might add), I found & followed this and it all worked like a dream. Many thanks for the insight. For safety reasons I uninstalled my windows hard drive from my laptop during installation.
Sebastian Müller : Yes I did follow the guide using Linux Mint 19.3. I initially had problems & error messages related to the formatting of the usb stick but this guide explained this in detail which others didn’t. As stated, if you are installing this on a usb stick on a laptop, would advise removing the hard drive (quite simple) as I have read that some installations of Linux can corrupt the boot record of the hard drive. I assume you have created a copy of mint “live” on a stick which is fairly simple(plenty of guides on this on UA-cam). But you cannot save files etc when you exit, it’s meant as a trial version. Hope this helps and you don’t spend as long as I did sorting out this problem. Let me know how you get on. (With thanks to the original author)
@@malgriffiths9415 I worked around the problem by setting up a live usb stick with 4GB persistent storage. Then i installed gnome-system-tools and with 'users and groups' from this package I was able to create a new user account with root access and encrypted home folder. Then I deleted the trial account. The only downside I see, is that I won't be able to install system updates.
@@sebastianmuller7018 This sounds a bit more complicated than the method I followed in this tutorial. I can only add that I ended up with a full version of Mint 19.3 on a 128 Gb usb stick, that fully updates all software ect.
@@malgriffiths9415 I have basically done the exact same approach that is described in the video but the usb stick was only recognized as bootable device on the computer I had created it on, although I placed the bootloader on the Usb stick. The only differences of my approaches were that I split the usb stick in two partitions so that it can also be used as regular storage device and I did not create a dedicated storage partition.
at last a clear informative vid tutorial with easy to follow steps and non of the pomp and un needed curcumstance you usually get from across the pond, nice one.
Emboldened by your example, I've installed a variety of Linux distros on several USB sticks. I always try to use at least 16 GB (32 is better) and 3.0 high quality sticks. They've all gone very smoothly, including OBrevenge, a version of Arch Linux that I really like. It's important to make sure the boot loader is assigned to the stick and so far they've worked across a variety of different hardware and are surprisingly very fast.
Thanks Brian :-D Never heard of that version before, and unlike winblows its not sensitive about the machine being used, shame winblows didnt have an autodetect hardware at bootup, no more motherboard swap problems :-)
Probably should have formated the root mount point as ext2 and not ext4 as ext2 is a non journaling file system and should do less write operations than ext4 prolonging usb flash drive life span.
I've been doing this for years thanks Graham :-) but there are a few things you need to know..Pen Drives do have limited space so give them as much room as possible..Throw swap in the bin forget it waste of time..Secondly use a 3.0 stick even if you have 2.0 ports don't even bother with a 2.0 stick because it will chug like hell and 3 well we shall see :-)
I installed peppermint os on a usb stick. It booted and worked great on my dell with win 10 on it. I put the same usb on my i mac with corrupted hard drive and it would not boot however the i mac would boot the iso for peppermint on the usb. So for giggles I installed Manjaro xfce on the usb however I let the calmares installer do the automatic install and it works perfectly on the i mac with the dead hard drive. I noticed when Calmares did the install it added one extra very small boot-loader partion to it. I believe don't quote me because it was a week ago it was a 3 mib uefi partion. I have not used Manjarro in a couple of years but I am very impressed that calmares created a persistent usb automatically and yes I tried to do it automatically with peppermint and it did not work on the dell and I Mac. However my Manjarro usb done by calmares works on both machines.
Hi from Scotland. I'm loving your videos and learning heaps. I have a very confusing question which might be silly. I was thinking I could do this then install virtualbox in Too and have say Kali or Windows on it. So I can stick my flash drive in any comp and away I go. Is this a ridiculous idea ? It was so when I'm working away from home I can use my set up on any work computer ? I'm on verge of buying sandisk 32gb as read/write speeds sound great but do I just need 16gb or maybe 64gb ? If you could answer this it would ease my brain pain enormously :) or is there a better way ? Cheers
Excellent video, thank you, but am stuck at the install stage, because the present version of Peppermint and gparted are different in appearance - can you please redo the procedure using the present versions of peppermint and gparted?
perfect video territorial the installation took longer than i expected yes😀 i figured out how to make the usb flash drive unallocated 😀 other than that it worked flawlessly 😀
How I did it on a mac without having to restart, burn a CD/DVD or use two flash drives. Installed Oracle VM Virtual Machine (Never used it before) -Free Installed Extensions for USB 2.0 and 3.0 support. Made a virtual machine for linux (Pretty much hit "next" on all settings they suggested) Loaded the disk image (iso) for peppermint and selected try it. Hit the icon on the bottom of the VM screen for flash drive and selected the flash drive, it disconnected from my computer and connected to the virtual computer. Followed the video steps to complete the drive. Advantages: 1 flash drive and no cds/dvds 2. didn't have to restart 3. didn't accidentally format the wrong partition. (Actually, I did, but it was a virtual machine partition so it didn't mess up my computer.)
Awesome video, I'm making a Ubuntu flavoured USB to run Shoutcast server. Just a question, can you slipstream updates to Ubuntu and programs this way??
This is a great tutorial and very useful, thank you very much Britech. There doesn't seem to be any videos on Steve's channel when I clicked on the link.
Great video, was wondering if you could do a video on how to set up your home computer to turn on via Ethernet wake up while using this pen drive at a remote location so you could gain access/control to your home computer. And would it be possible to "remote in" like that from a linux pendrive to a Windows based system? Complicated, sure, which is why I'm requesting the video. *grin*
mate your a champ, every dam tutorial ive tried either installs the install iso OR it fails to install the bootloader, why?, because not one of them show you about partitioning the usb into 2 parts.... thanks you for keeping me sane :)
Very nice tutorial. However, how can a boot loader be added so I can boot from a MacBook Pro Retina? I would like to use this for data recovery on MacBooks Pros with flash storage.
Hi, there! I was interested in doing this to my flash drive, but I don't have my own computer currently. I share a computer with my family, and if I changed the OS to Peppermint, I'd get in trouble. If I did this, when I removed the disc and thumb drive, would Windows show up? Thank you so, so much for creating this tutorial!
I believe you made a good video, it helped me a bit, but the thing i think you failed to mention or that i fail to understand fully is that i dont think you can have two grub installs, therefore without that usb and without repairing windows loader, you may lock users out of their systems right? If your intent was to lead users to your forums, good job, some of us think ahead though
Thank you.. Very useful guide.. I installed pop os using this method. For pop os, it needs pen drive to be formatted in GPT. so it has to be done first by using gparted.. Then rest of things work..
Not for nothing, m8, But you didn't demonstrate persitence after booting. Couldn't you have saved a file or something to show it will hold saved data after a reboot? Sorry to be a stickler, but I've been working out this "Persistent USB distro" thing for a while now, and hoping to finally get it to work.
I have not understood how he is booting from the USB drive. What is this Click BIOS 4 ? I suppose the traditional way would be to get acess to the traditional BIOS in step 1 and change the boot order?
@@Ecki107 You need two instances of Peppermint. The one you are running and another one installed on a blank USB. For most people you can do it with two USBs or a USB and a DVD with Peppermint Installer. Also, make sure you select the mount point and Ext4 Journaling (didn't do that the first time and it wasn't bootable)
what's the use for the partition linux swap? since you install on ext4? btw, i want to install linux on my exfat usb drive, but i want to keep that filesystem format (Exfat), since i will have to switch files between windows, macos and linux, can it be done?
I knew you could create persistent linux usb sticks using utilities like YUMI and PenDriveLinux. These utilities just copy the linux ISO onto the stick and create an additional file for persistence. But I never knew you could do a full install of a linux distro right onto a usb stick. Just curious, can you install multiple linux distros onto a usb stick and have a multiboot scenario (ie. with a boot loader on the stick which lets you choose which distro to launch)?
+Ash Gupta YES .. as long as your system can boot from USB removeable media it will treat a USB stick as an external hard drive so you can do anything with it you could do on an external HDD
+Ash Gupta YES .. as long as your system can boot from USB removable media it will treat a USB stick as an external hard drive so you can do anything with it you could do on an external HDD
Terms used on UA-cam regards to loading Linux on a USB are misleading. I recommend using the term "Linux To Go" rather the vague term of "Bootable Linux".
Hi, is this really a persistent install on a USB key ? I've tried Unetbootin in the past and it created a file called Casper for the persistence, but after a while it got errors saying Casper couldn't be found and persistence stopped.
Very good video. just my question is if someone has experience about it The problem is; some of USB flashes not providing boot, Even making as a bootable disk some usb flashes, giving some of variation errors or not entering usb boot session blabla... This reason I'm thinking to buy which usb stick is ok, compatible it with more space ike 128gb etc... 16,32 like this not enough, and also I'didn't try on SD cards with USB extension (another sollution USB sd card reader with SD cards) If someone has experience about usb flahses which Fast, Compatible and more space like 128gb can share us would good please..
Brian! please! need your help! started up my dell laptop today and said, " windows error recovery " A recent hardware or software change might be the cause! if I click Windows startup repair, will I lose my personal files? please quick response! thanks!
Why all the formatting of your thumb drive? Let Peppermint do all the necessary things. It is in the installer. That way it is much easier for people not familiar with Gparted and who have no idea of what is going on here.

Caution: i tried installing linux on flash drive (full installation on usb drive). And it took almost 6 hours, i had a usb3.0 ( 32GB in which i installed linux) and 8GB usb2.0 in which i had bootable iso of linux. i have normal specs not too great not too bad, but running OS via usb is extremely slow and not worth it. Not recommeded at all, this guy britec showed how to install entire OS on usb. NOT how to make usb persistent. For that use rufus and install kali linix which officialy support persistency and set persistence level in rufus. That works but still thats a bit slow. (Sorry for poor english).
Good day sir, I have a kinda major problem. I am using a HP laptop with windows 10 and I forgot my password, can you help me what to do / how can I do to reset / recover my password? by the way, I used microsoft service, it didn't help, please help me. Thank you.
ive followed 5 diffo methods to make a persistence kali usb spent a week now giving up every ones way is different somethings not right with the methods ive tryed pissed off do you know if thi9s will defo workplease

Hey, I used the new Peppermint 7 when following this guide but at the end of the installation I get "unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda, Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed, this is a fatal error". After I OK the error I get to a error about bootloader, "not possible to install it at specified location", from there I can't do anything, hitting OK doesn't seem to do much so the installation must have crashed. Sooo, have anyone seen it before? Did I miss a crucial step in the pre-installation phase? And the thing that bugs me, why was it trying to install anything on sda? that would be my C:\?
Hmmm *trying to remember* I think it was something really simple in one of the installation windows. Something like you need to specify a dir. 8:07 might've been that bottom "device for boot". Hope you find the solution! :)
Just did this with 2 USB drives instead of using a DVD, worked fine. Very easy to follow instructions.

I seem to remember that the late Midfingr used ext2 (no journaling) on his Arch with persistence guide.
Ext4 has the option to turn journaling off.

And it took almost 6 hours, i had a usb3.0 ( 32GB in which i installed linux) and 8GB usb2.0 in which i had bootable iso of linux. i have normal specs not too great not too bad, but running OS via usb is extremely slow and not worth it. Not recommeded at all, this guy britec showed how to install entire OS on usb. NOT how to make usb persistent. For that use rufus and install kali linix which officialy support persistency and set persistence level in rufus. That works but still thats a bit slow. (Sorry for poor english).
Does anybody know how to add a clock/weather widget to the desktop

Virgin Private Window vs Chad Persistent USB

u can do the same thing with all linux distos by changing few init files.
ive followed 5 diffo methods to make a persistence kali usb spent a week now giving up every ones way is different
somethings not right with the methods ive tryed pissed off do you know if thi9s will defo workplease
Wait, what? How is this persistent? I didn't see anything that suggested it would be persistent.
It's just simple logic. The system "thinks" it has been installed on a regular hard drive but you chose the USB drive as the destination.
correct!
hi ... how to save data in bitdefender rescu-cd Live USB
I will make that video for you
not work
Does it still write GRUB to MBR?
Crystal clear video !
Thanks a lot as I was struggling with different linux usb creators and, as often in linux, it's better when you do it yourself :-)
your password is britec?
went to Linux help guy channel link you gave and i got this: This account has been terminated due to repeated or severe violations of our Community Guidelines and/or claims of copyright infringement.
Not for beginners. Got lost about 2 minutes in ... booting to a flash drive but chose the DVD option ... wha? Slow down and explain things to people.
Hey, I used the new Peppermint 7 when following this guide but at the end of the installation I get "unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda, Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed, this is a fatal error".
After I OK the error I get to a error about bootloader, "not possible to install it at specified location", from there I can't do anything, hitting OK doesn't seem to do much so the installation must have crashed.
Sooo, have anyone seen it before? Did I miss a crucial step in the pre-installation phase? And the thing that bugs me, why was it trying to install anything on sda? that would be my C:\?
The same thing happened to me too when following this tutorial, were you able to fix it?
Hmmm *trying to remember* I think it was something really simple in one of the installation windows.
Something like you need to specify a dir. 8:07 might've been that bottom "device for boot".
Hope you find the solution! :)
U should change boot loader location to ur usb drive. I think sda is ur system drive
Wtf my hackintosh usb installer works perfectly and I can boot from it, but linux distros aren't booting!!! (They did not so long ago)
sounds like a uefi thing
New is grated out.
grayed
You need to make it unallocated space first
