Then adding MATE desktop by installing mate-desktop-environment(-core) consumes additional 750-1300 MB.įor Debian I found the following size limits:Ģ GB - console mode works, too small for MATE Desktop (1.9 GB in total when I tried), maybe other desktop environment may fitĤ GB - fits MATE Desktop, web browser, partition and text editor, I found that Debian 9.9 MATE Live consumed a whole 4 GB stick so much that the installation aborted, while the net install without any graphical interface only consumed 1022 MB. You may select the installation ISO depending on the size of the USB memory. Therefore in this guide is the USB memory connected as a disk to the VirtualBox.
This is because VirtualBox BIOS does not seem to support booting from USB devices. This works until you to boot of the new installation as of VirtualBox 5.2, then you get FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted. Note, the most obvious way to do this should be by connecting the USB memory to the host machine, in VirtualBox give it to the client machine and then just install to it.
It is not about putting a live ISO on a USB stick. This note is about actually installing Debian Stretch 9 onto an USB memory and the run the system from it, like it was a regular harddrive.
