<p>PureOS provides an iso of the OS and instructions on how to
create an install flash drive for installation onto a machine.
With Vbox I installed to a virtual machine from the iso as is
normally done with Vbox. However the instructions also stated that
a live version can be used when booting from the flash drive or it
can be installed, an installer on the desktop when running the
live session. Can it be installed to the same flash drive that's
running the live session? It seems like it could with the correct
partitioning. <br>

that drive went every time you boot up the machine.</div>

<p>Install to a USB stick. A 64 GB USB 3.0 SanDisk Ultra
Flair is ideal. $15 at Walmart. Weighs exactly 5 grams,
same as a nickel. Great form factor and mechanically
solid: 3/16" x 7/16" x 1-1/4" and you can keep it stashed
in your pocket encrypted with all essential records and
files for use on multiple machines. Great for testing and
experimenting, redundancy, extra space, cheap insurance,
etc. Not that I'm a fan of Walmart or that better deals
can't be had, but certainly cheaper and less hassle than
another computer to worry about.<br>

<p>Hello All,</p>
<p>I was poking around and looking at a website
specifically re: Gnu and the Hurd OS. Hurd doesn't
really work much at all but there were 6 OSes
listed that were certified FOSS and approved by
Stallman. They each used the linux kernel. I
downloaded PureOS and installed in as a virtual
machine (in the non-FOSS Vbox). After a few tweaks
it was up and running and I really like it. I
would migrate to it if I had a clue how to keep
everything. It's fast and clean, the FOSS browser
works perfectly. No issues with sound nor anything
else. It's Debian based so its Gnome GUI is very
familiar.</p>
<p>Just thought that I'd let you all know.</p>
<p>Ciao<br>
