Corona688, he's been told this a bunch of times on other forums, and doesn't seem to listen. The link he tried to post was to mkusb, which he was told about 6 times. Doesn't seem to sink in for him that slow media is slow, and he seems to think Mint was designed to be used from USB with no issues. And if I've read their other forum threads right, theyve been using the same USB stick for YEARS now, just reformatting. Telling them about bad cells and flash drive life doesn't sink in either.

You can use mkusb (and other tools) to actually install to a thumbdrive, and partition it. But why bother? There are actual distros like puppy and tails that are made to run like that, so they run faster. Mint ain't one of them.

NAME

       grub-install - install GRUB to a device

SYNOPSIS

       grub-install [OPTION] install_device

DESCRIPTION

       Install GRUB on your drive.

       -h, --help
	      print this message and exit

       -v, --version
	      print the version information and exit

       --modules=MODULES
	      pre-load specified modules MODULES

       --boot-directory=DIR
	      install GRUB images under the directory DIR/grub instead of the /boot/grub directory

       --grub-setup=FILE
	      use FILE as grub-setup

       --grub-mkimage=FILE
	      use FILE as grub-mkimage

       --grub-mkrelpath=FILE
	      use FILE as grub-mkrelpath

       --grub-mkdevicemap=FILE use FILE as grub-mkdevicemap

       --grub-probe=FILE
	      use FILE as grub-probe

       --no-floppy
	      do not probe any floppy drive

       --allow-floppy
	      Make the drive also bootable as floppy (default for fdX devices). May break on some BIOSes.

       --force

       --disk-module=MODULE
	      disk module to use

       INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

       grub-install copies GRUB images into /boot/grub, and uses grub-setup to install grub into the boot sector.
