Why can't I boot off my Debian update CD? "it won't boot" is not very informative. does the screen stay black from the start, does POST show, is the bootmanager loading, are there any errors? |

Unable to boot the operating system @xralf: as pointed out in post #4 of the ubuntu forums this is a bug of the mini cd, have you tried editing your config according to that posting? |

Unable to boot the operating system Can you explain what problem you are talking about? Aligning partitions to cylinders is not reccommended, not only parted will hate you for doing so. |

Unable to boot the operating system no need to post fstab, it is loaded after the kernel and thus after the bootmanager is loaded, which in this case is not loaded. question is if there were any erros while installing grub @xralf? |

Fast distro which only allows a USB boot? It should be possible to chainload from one Grub the other Grub on the USB. But I have no experience with that. |

pendrive distro @oneat substitute everything with the pendrives device path (or even better UUID). I am booting my server from a pendrive, would be no problem to put the rest of the system on it too. I would reccomend using genkernel if you want to switch your host-PC though. |

pendrive distro +1 for gentoo. I don't know of any premade USB-distro that is made to run on a stick. But you should be able to install every distro onto a USB-Stick. And gentoo is extremely lightweight if you use the "minimal" USE-flag for some packages. An alternative might be Archlinux if you don't want to dive too deep into your system. |

What's a good example of piping commands together? @FakeRainBrigand: Haha, good to know! But I got an alternative that should not be built in: youtube-dl $1 -q -o - | mplayer - directly plays the video inside mplayer. I use that command from my laptop to tell my server (which is connected to the TV) to play videos. I have to append -display :0.0 -geometry 400x300+1200+200 to let the mplayer window appear on the correct screen. |
