Boot from a USB drive, and what is the minimum drive size?

[liam]

Hello, I've got Amahi installed and it looks very good, thanks for all your work.

Can Amahi/Fedora boot from a USB drive? I do not mean to instal from a USB drive, but to use the USB drive as a boot drive with all the software, and then keep my data on my hard drives.

If yes, is there an easy way to copy the image over from my hard drive to my USB drive? I am a Linux newbie so I'd appreciate options that are relatively simple.

Also, what is the minimum size installation, e.g. would Amahi-Fedora fit onto a 4Gb USB drive? And what Fedora components do I then need to include on a custom Fedora instal?

Many thanks

It is VERY hard to /boot and / to another drive. Better during an install to push them to you USB device. for / you CAN get by with 8Gb flash. Thing is that /var/log can get VERY busy and do you really want that on flash, for example. Thus you need a bit of knowledge about which branches to put on flash and which not and how to edit /etc/fstab
