Pretty sure that wasn't the problem, Jerry, as both flash drives were blinking for over an hour as files were copied. For the visually inclined, here's a screenshot: " button, but that just bounced me to sda (my hard drive), which I very definitely don't want to modify. Hit "Install" and got error message: "No root system is defined". Chose the USB drive (/dev/sdc) in the first dialogue box and also for installation of boot loader. So, I opened a live session, plugged in a USB drive and started the install, selecting "Something else" for installation type. If he likes, he'll do dual boot later (probably using two drives rather than partitions). Of course, a USB system will be much slower, but this is simply a trial. I want to do this so I can set up a friend to play with LM without the restrictions of a live session but without him having to install a dual boot. You just create a normal live DVD or USB flash drive of Linux Mint, then put the USB drive that you want to install a full version of Linux Mint onto into a USB port (or another USB port), boot up to the Live DVD or Live USB flash drive, double click the install desktop icon, and when asked where to install, select the other USB flash drive. This is what I have done for a portable full version of Linux Mint that can be updated, programs installed, utilities installed, etc. Of course, you could just install a full version of Linux Mint onto a USB stick very easily, but you would need a 16gb or greater USB flash drive.
