Mobile hard disk can also be installed with linux system

To make a u disk boot, please refer to ”liveusb-creator v3.11.7 releases“.

It is worth mentioning that when choosing the startup method, many people often modify the startup order of bios. The ubuntu home provides a good method here: by selecting the startup menu, the method does not need to change any settings. There are two options when the computer starts up. One is & rdquo; modify the setting “, one is & rdquo; select the boot menu “, for example, F2 is to enter the settings, F10 is to select the boot menu. For many computer boot menus are generally F10 or F12 (I have seen these two kinds of short-sighted generals), once installed for a classmate found that his settings did not start from the u disk and other devices, but when the boot menu is selected Very surprised.

installation type selection

Select the type of installation you must choose the mobile hard disk, select and install your boot device when mobile hard disk, do not select a partition mobile hard disk ( Primary partition or boot partition). (The ps screenshot has nothing to do with the installation method mentioned in this article)

After the installation is complete, restart the computer, unplug the u disk, select the boot menu, select the mobile hard disk, and everything will be ok.

The grub installed on the system of the mobile hard disk will add the startup items on the hard disk of the computer (of course, you can choose to boot the system on the hard disk). If you feel uncomfortable, you can modify it by executing the following command: sudo vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg (for those unfamiliar with vi, you can choose to use gedit to modify it), delete the startup items you don't need.

partition

I Partitioning: 0 for the computer disk drives, mobile hard disk 1. Disk 0: The c drive is win7, the latter 1.91G is the swap partition, 19.67G is the ubuntu primary partition, and there is no boot and home partition. Disk 1:58.06G for fedora and 1.00G for swap.

The Linux partition is a logical partition. I don't know why it is recognized as the primary partition. When partitioning the hard disk, you must pay attention to it. The number of primary partitions + extended partitions cannot exceed four (the extended partition is generally one (green). The big box), the extended partition can be divided into a lot of logical partitions (light blue box), otherwise it will not be recognized or ubuntu can no longer partition and lead to the system can not be installed, must be properly partitioned before installing the system.

In the future, you can take your mobile hard disk and start your system everywhere.

For archlinux users, if you want to install to a mobile hard disk, you need to change some things: the HOOKS item in mkinitcpio.conf must be added. “usb”, and the way the partition must use uuid. Once lucky, the installation was successful once, but it was deleted because of wireless Internet access. There are many ways to get online, everyone still google it.

fedora, depinlinux and other systems, you can rest assured to install it, you must be bold in the installation system, there is nothing to conquer.
