Re: [GTALUG] Debian Live Linux -- Change Overlay Filesystem -- From Tempfs Ramdisk To Hard Drive ?? [was] Re: Debian Live Linux -- Overlay Filesystem -- Where Allocated ??

1. It is easy to install a Linux system onto a USB stick: just tell the Linux installer to use the (second) USB stick instead of the HDD. The result has ordinary filesystems that can be updated, just like the one on your hard drive. 2. (Less useful to you) Various distros are experimenting with an immutable core. So you could have the same problem on your disk as you now have on your stick. <https://fedoramagazine.org/what-is-silverblue/> I bought a USB SSD and installed Fedora on it (see 1 above). I boot from it for a bunch of maintenance tasks. For example: resizing partitions (gparted).
