Dear all,
Anyone can light on this,
I'm installing Linux on my usb 16GB stick , but I'm wondering why
only vfat partition is needed to install the Linux on usb stick ,
why we can't use extX type of FS to install the Linux???? is it
necessary to have vfat partition to install Linux instead of its
native FS... ? is there any solution for this ?
I came to know that , SYSLINUX uses vfat .... thats why it is
required ... but the same thing never happened in case of HDD ...
I never formated my hdd with vft to install Linux, it boots from
extX type of partition ... then why we need to format usb stick
with vfat ????
Grub does not need FAT, so using grub should solve this. Just tried
Unetbootin Tinycore to a Ext2 formated USB. Failed to boot. Didn't
investigate.
HDD doesn't use syslinux, it uses grub, grub2 or lilo in most cases.
