Hi I would like to have a fat32 partition for the datas (when I have to work on friends w$ computers)
method 1 (2 partitions) -> better w$ only mount the first partition So sdb1 -> data sdb2 -> live how to restore binary.ing to sdb2 ? I can keep free space after the first partition. method 2 (1big partition) restore binary.img (400Mb) to the whole space (8Gb) Because the live partition is fat32. dd creates a partition with the same size of binary.img. Nobody needed to use his stick like this ? Thanks David.
