Okay, so I'm an artist/designer. I work with digital media, and know a little code, and build my own computers, but I am by no means a terminal savvy code wiz. I wanted to try out using some recent neural network projects from Github for some art projects, but they've only been built for Unix, so I decided to make a persistent USB drive.
I made one, but the max storage you can give it, with casper-rw, is 4 gigs. The neural network takes up about 6 gigs of space, so I needed to make a larger size. I tried expanding the size using gpart, but ran into some problems. So I decided to just start over, format es4 and just do a full install on the usb drive. I tried this, and it I got some weird error messages. I did research online and it seems to have something to do with UEFI or something like that? I'm supposed to disable it? But that isn't working. If I disable UEFI I just get a blank black screen with a blinking underscore. If I don't then I get this: http://i.imgur.com/OWvunLO.jpg Please ignore the dorky reflection. I did not know any other way to take a screenshot of my tablet monitor while in a boot mode like that.
My specs are in my signature.
I was able to get the live cd usb persistent thing working fine, it's this full install on the usb drive that isn't working. I thought about also doing an install on an external usb ssd drive I have, but I'd really prefer if I could get this 32gig flash drive working with a persistent Linux since I have some other things I'd like a portable persistent desktop drive for. Any thoughts?
