How to create your own PortableUSB
First create a LiveUSB then you can convert it into a PortableUSB stick by creating a 2nd partition
on the remaining space of your USB stick to create a truly portable GNU/Linux that will
remember your changes between (re)boots !
# fdisk /dev/sdc
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1928.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
