QUESTION:
Has anyone personally used debootstrap to install to a flash drive?
not yet... :)
i'm currently having other bigger fish to fry...
My environment is:
OS is i386 Debian stable
DVD is DVD-1 of Debian 9.1.0
Flash drive has a:
4 GB ext2 partition
4 GB swap partition
get rid of swap partition and change ext2 to ext4 and use all
space on drive for that.
Done. No change :{
don't ask me what i think of uefi...
<chuckle>
when using flash drive on main system you can use the
main system drive swap (modify /etc/fstab on flash drive to use
main system drive swap).
I know. When my first attempt failed I added the swap partition "just in
case" debootstrap expected to see it on the destination device.
