Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Dec 13


I changed on linux ubuntu and within other distro's I've installed, on the
last page, the local where the boot manager must be installed.

With Ubuntu everything works fine. Started the pendrive ubuntu on every
machine I've tried. But others distro's do not work.

When installing the distros, even Ubuntu, I've disconnected the other
storage devices (except the CD/DVD, to boot Live CDs) and the only
recognizable HDD was the Pen Drive. When selecting the device to install
Boot Manager, I've selected the Pen drive, the device, not one of the
partitions I've set up during installation.

When I do that installing Ubuntu, everything goes fine. When I do that
installing other distros, nothing goes fine.

When I do that, the Boot Manager is stored on the Pen Drive. Right? Then, if
the Pen Drive is the only device configured within Boot Manager, doesn't
matter if there is other HDD installed when booting the Pen Drive on a
diferent computer. Right?

Ubuntu is fine and complete for me to use, but since I'm booting from a Pen
Drive, I need a lighter distro. And put that distro to work is the problem.
Why Lime, that have a instalation process similar to Ubuntu's ( 'cause it's
debian based, I think ) do not work? That's what bothers me the most!
