April installation experience to a 2GB USB stick
My experience installing April64 version of January 4th 2015 is in this webpage.
Hope it is useful and clear to those who want to see it first before actually plunging in.

It's very easy to install Quirky April to a USB stick (In my case it was
a removable card reader)
If your computer doesn't allow USB booting then install PLOP or
use a PLOP CD. Here is my instructions to create a PLOP CD

Installing PLOP (rather than using a CD) is also quite simple.
The instructions are at thePLOP site
The instructions are different depending on whether you have a Linux or Windows
computer, which can be confusing.

When using the install script '4install-quirky-to-drive' when there is not
enough space to decompress ---> There is a warning message in the terminal
Don't be confused by this message.
It just means that you don't have enough space. Just start again.
The script and april-6.89.usfs.xz must be on a disk
that has more space available.

Code: Select all
Uncompressing april-6.89.usfs.xz to april-6.89.usfs...
xz: (stdout): Write error: No space left on device
Final sanity check: 'sdc' is correct? (ENTER if OK, CTRL-C abort):
