Re: [Trisquel-users] install a full Trisquel on a USB flash drive

[hosh]

many people have been using the live-usb method for years, with distributions  
like Puppy Linux. I have not had a usb wear out or become unusable so far. I  
was thinking to try Trisquel using this method, but according to Chris, this  
is not practical, both in terms of speed and in terms of wear and tear on the  
usb drive.  Does Trisquel run entirely in RAM? If so, how much RAM does it  
use? (Trisquel is not listed in the Wikipedia page on this topic -  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions_that_run_from_RAM)

Note: with Puppy I use a Sandisk Cruzer Fit running in ext2 or 3 (I forget)  
and just leave it in my eeepc Netbook all the time, so there isn't a question  
of plugging and unplugging it all the time.  But if I want to use it in  
another computer, I can, and all my settings are saved.  For file storage I  
use Dropbox and Google Drive on the permanent disk, and go over to Windows  
once in while to sync files. If the distribution supported it better, I could  
do this without leaving Linux.  (I'm aware that I could also use one of the  
libre cloud systems and may do so in the future.)
