File:Usb installation.jpg

• Live Mode
• Grub-live
• Kicksecure on USB
• Persistent Mode

Current Situation

Yes, Template:Project name can be used on a USB.

1. Select a suitable host operating system.
2. Install it on USB.
3. Install a supported virtualizer.
4. Finally install Template:Project name.

At this time, Template:Project name does not provide a USB creator / image.

There are a number of online guides explaining how to install Linux on a USB. These instructions can be followed to create a live Template:Project name USB, with the exception that both a supported virtualizer and Template:Project name must also be installed on the external media.

If it is actually booting into non-persistent live boot is what you're interested in, look into live mode.

• Live Mode
• Grub-live
• Kicksecure on USB
• Persistent Mode

Specifically useful as a host operating system on USB is Debian or Kicksecure in combination with the grub-live software package which makes it possible to boot the host operating system into Host Live Mode.

Advantages

A higher level of security is attained by installing the host operating system(s) required for Template:Project name on a dedicated, (encrypted), external disk(s) like a USB flash drive, FireWire or eSATA device:

• Using external media reduces the risk of other operating system(s) infecting the Template:Project name host operating system.
• When Template:Project name disk(s) are not in use, they can either be removed or hidden.
