I read this http://sidux.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=7018&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=usb+install

and i would like to know if there is a way to have a full installation of sidux in a usb flash (4 or 8 gb) and the installation is not hardware specific.

I want to use sidux on a usb flash and take it everywhere I go.

Excuse me for my english. It's not my native language.

You will find this in the Manual under Installation options. Go for fromiso and persistent. Easy to set up.

cheers Micha

if you want reszie your partition afterwards nevertheless on 4GB more tham one partitions is a nonsense.

Installer takes the whole disk for hiimself.

for a full install (not fromiso) you need to choose vesa for graghic mode.
that might boot on some machines, but not all.
fromiso install will boot everywhere where booting from usb is possible.
but only one partition possible. use 'persist' option for extra home and 'toram' to load it into ram.

Thank you for your help.

I resize the partition to 4gb after installation. But I think, as the usb flash sticks grow bigger in size, it is better to select the partition you want before the installation.

Does this mean that if I want to put sidux "live" onto a 250GB USB HD, I can only have one partition?
