I know knoppix was burning CRTs (by forcing some insane refresh rates) long before Ubuntu did that. |

however, they are both debian forks. one tend to be a live cd, the other 1 targets on desktop use. |

Hey, just wanted to say I've now got Linux Mint Lisa, cause somehow Linux Mint Debian did not work on the USB-Drive... tried to solve that but without success. I'm quite happy with it did not run into any problems yet... |

is the usb legacy device support turned on? is the partition on the usb stick "a primary partition" and is the "boot" flag set? hm... |

Which reminds me: as far as Linux is concerned there isn't much of a difference between USB Flash drive, USB HDD or internal HDD.The only problem with USB drives and different computers is that different computers can make the same USB drive /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, etc.; and GRUB doesn't like that. That's why you'll maybe need another boot loader. Look here for a hint or two http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_boot_loaders . P.S.: Something from the SYSLINUX collection is what you probably want. |

mm... grub is configured by default to use uids instead since some years ago, just for that reason. |

I still find GRUB to be unreliable for booting from USB stick. |

Ticking teh fucking boot flag on a PRI partition is OS independent afaik^^ |

What I meant was that anything Linux- (the kernel) -based runs "equally" on almost any storage device, regardless of particular distro. |
