@g.jacobse waaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit a sec - once you have the live version on it, can't you then install full? Am I just crazy / thinking of live CD options?
aka - boot to live CD, install onto usb from there?

Yes you can. I just attempting to have a NTFS or FAT32 volume as wee on the USB drive.

You don't want a full install onto USB stick. You want to image the Live image to there instead.

Running a full install on flash media will kill it very quickly.

About to head off to dinner in the old town of Panama City.
-
so I figured I'd try to install Arch on an old laptop for fun. I'm getting a failed retrieving file on all of the repos. Maybe I should just take that as a hint
-
I keep meaning to play with Arch, but I'm never sure of the compelling reason why.
-
For desktop Linux I like to play with Linux Mint, Fedora and OpenSuse.
-
If you want an interesting and awesome desktop experience, test out PC-BSD. Not Linux, but FreeBSD based instead.
-
@scottalanmiller I figured it might be a good learning experience, guess not.
-
@scottalanmiller Ok I will. I have CentOS7 on my main comp, but I'll put that on the one I was going to try arch on.
-
Dinner last night.

That is not what I wanted to hear. I want to use the Mini USB drive that I have. It doesn't protrude much and is easy to transport around. For the Asus eeePC 1000HE laptop I have, it's perfect. Could I install it on the internal Hard drive - yes I could. But that defeats my 'goal'.
Using a External Hard drive, either PATA, SATA or SSD again defeats the goal of having something in the pocket, ready to go, and won't snag on things badly.

Randomly went to my website and got a 502 from nginx. Apparently the php-fpm service stopped. Setting up monit.
-
That was really simple. I've never used monit before, only supervisor.
-
knock knock... anyone here?
-
@Joy Sort of, kind of, but not really
