I get it, but before others waste their time with the OP, I think its important they have the whole story. I cannot figure out how to run a full 'desktop' OS (like Mint, or whatever..Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. doesn't matter) from a USB 2.0 stick (with /home /swap and EVERYTHING on it), with ZERO LAG. And I also can't figure out how to do it on an OLD USB 2.0 stick, that probably has a load of dead cells. If someone else can believe me, I'd love to know because I truly don't, and would love to learn. And add to that the fact they've been at this (that is, running Mint from USB) for 5 YEARS now, and I can't help but feel the OPs posts are an exercise in futility.

I can believe a 3.0 stick would work far better, but still, your limitation is the USB bus.

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
