Geza Kovacs is the developer of Unetbootin, I will look to see if the status quo has changed. Further you could not just add the usual PPA because it referred to a previous version of Ubuntu and was not allowed. I haven't checked for 4 weeks but will do so imminently - but Unetbootin a week after Ubuntu 18.04 'Bionic Beaver' was released, was NOT included in the Repos, for the first time in years. Note the versions it works on and those not. is for the most part accurate, still, if you look at all the comments at the bottom. I think I may have found a way (well, someone else may have found it), to increase the size of the Persistence to fill the stick and I am going to check into that and come back here later. This approach would save me the drama (possible) associated with screwing around with timeshift and aptik etcĮdit to add : a weekly snapshot from Timeshift contains approx 634000 items consuming approx 15Gb which explains the method to follow in establishing persistence on the usb.(my only reservation with that page is the articles age.2014) I can accomplish what I need to without reinventing the wheel. I realised I dont actually need the whole kit and kaboodle on the usb/thumb drive.
UNETBOOTIN PORTABLE DOWNLOAD
Once the usb is made bootable.I can email the material I need to myself via gmail.or in some cases simply download a link or six via the windows laptop which the Linux usb will be plugged into.
Wis mentioned Unetbootin is capable of providing 4Gb of persistence.3 Gb or even 2 Gb may well be enough for me. Ok.having a rethink.thats what happens when you leave me to my own devices.Ħ4Gb usb/thumb drive.create it as a bootable usb with LM 18.3 + Persistence. on which he has his c-v and two (2) email addresses, spam-modified, just adjust them.īTW2 - Elaine wants to know how Belle (Brian's dog) is doing and whether she is here or there. You could ask Steven Shiau, the developer of Clonezilla. Under TS's Settings, you might want to go to Users and choose "include all".Ĭlonezilla I have used numerous times, but not for the purposes you describe.
UNETBOOTIN PORTABLE INSTALL
I'll call your 'puter install of LM the Host and the stick the Guest - you'd just screenshot the Host from time to time, then tweak the Location under Settings and Restore to the Guest, should go easy peasy.
Given you're using an 18.3 "Mintie" you've already got Timeshift and that should work OK. Persistence under usual circumstances, such as you will find with Unetbootin or other, is limited to 4GB, but there is a way around that, and it is covered by a HowTo Geek article, I just have to track it down.
UNETBOOTIN PORTABLE FULL
I did a full install to it, gave it only about 256MB Swap just to keep it happy, and was able to perform updates on it out to the 8GB limit. I trod a similar path a couple of years ago at our old stomping grounds when Member there rp88 was a little coy about going a full install with Linux, and so I created on an 8GB usb stick a full install of Linux Mint 17.3 'Rosa' Cinnamon with persistence.
You have the germ of an idea and I hope it is not contagious, but I've had my flu vaccination so hopefully I am immune. There are some things one just cannot do in windows, that can be done in Linuxįurther thoughts.would it boot ?.problems there ? I would only need to use this for approx 3 weeks. Anything I 'add' would be saved by virtue of the 'preserve files across reboots' thingie. My idea here is to take that thumb drive with me and plug it into a windows laptop and use my Linux wherever I may be. run updates.then restore a Clonezilla image to it ? If i use a 64Gb usb /thumb drive, and install a clean copy of LM 18.3 to it.using unetbootin.and make an allowance in unetbootin to 'preserve files across reboots'.allow Updates to run.and then "restore" one of the 'Timeshift' snapshots on top of that.? I am playing with this idea, and need confirmation that it will indeed work
