Installing Tiny Core Linux on a USB pendrive

How to install Tiny Core Linux from live-CD on an USB pendrive

Free Tiny Core Linux hand book: tinycorelinux.inf.hu

All the data on the pendrive will be lost.
Choose USB-HDD : the entire pendrive is used and seen as a hard disk drive.
USB-ZIP is only for older computers that can not boot from USB but had BIOS that supported booting from an actual ZIp drive.

Warning carefully choose the disk: usually the pendrive is sdb...
if you choose your hard drive partition by error you will lose all your data on it!

Never put a swap partition on a USB drive, as this results in a lot of writing to it, and will greatly shorten its life.

Use a non-journalling filesystem to minimize the amount of writing to the drive. When installing Tinycore, ext2 is ideal.

When finished reboot without backup.
If your computer doesn't boot from the pendrive see the next video.
