Fwd: Fedora on usb connected media
Hi, I should note, that the installation with manual partitioning installed showed after installation the same partitions as was, when I had chosen automatic partitioning with reclaim space. My wanted partitioning was ignored.

Re: Fedora on usb connected media
Works for me. I used a Samsung 940X laptop and a Sandisk 80GB USB3 external SSD. This is a UEFI machine, and I installed using manual partitioning to re-use partitions on the external device, which contained an old Fedora 23 system. My purpose here was to preserve an encrypted /home partition. /boot, /boot/efi, /root and a swap partition were reformatted by the installer for the F25 system. In order to boot from the external drive, I must use the EFI boot loader - press F10 during start to display a list of boot devices, then select the SanDisk USB drive. The internal drive for this machine dual boots Fedora 24 and Windows. Only the external drive was used by Anaconda for the F25 installation. It might be possible to update GRUB on the internal drive so it can boot F25 from the external drive, but I rather like the present state where no change was made to the internal storage medium. ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Yeah, it'd be neat to find a way to recruit people who individually are interested in solving a problem, but have only narrow expertise. A way to put together a team.

Fedora on usb connected media
Hi, I am using Fedora since a very long time privately, I have started with Redhat, when Fedora came up I switched to Fedora. I use always two systems Windows and Fedora quasi paralell. This means if in a function Windows is better Windows, if Fedora is better Fedora. Partly I had 2 disks in the system one for Windows, one for Fedora. But since I work with laptops I use Fedora on USB connected media, currently Fedora on a 64GB usb 3.0 connected flash medium. Fedora is in this configuration -as I feel- quite quick, as it would be on the internal disk. As mass storage I use the laptop internal Windows disk. I saw that data transfering from the Laptop internal disk to an external disk and vice versa is much more quicker, when it's controlled from Fedora on usb flash medium, then it is, when controlled from the laptop internal disk, there are many examples where fedora is comparable ( or better) as the Apps of Windows. Since development of F24 I have problems with testing in my small corner "Fedora paralell to Windows on usb connected media". In F24 there was no dual boot Windows - Fedora possible - requirement for Final, this had worked always in the previous "editions" of Fedora. Now in F25 it is not possible to install F25 Alpha on an usb connected medium - not on an usb flash medium, not on an external disk. I filed a bug against dracut - dracut showed the error, possibly I should have filed against Anaconda - nearly no reaction on this bug - was not worth the invested work. It might be, that Fedora is mainly used on bigger systems, and not so important for smaller systems, but also on smaller systems there are people, who could learn to love Fedora, if there is more promotion for this part of the computer community. Especially Windows oriented users. Kind regards ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
