I am booting up a Window 7 system with LL on a USB Drive.  I am not sure what USB "Live" means. I installed LL onto a USB Flash drive.  I guess my question is, will I get better performance loading LL onto the HD or will it be more responsive using the USB as it is essentially an SSD?  BTW all USB ports on this machine are 2.0.  I also have 2.5GB of RAM, but profile would only let you choose whole numbers.


I ask these things because I certainly see an improvement, but I experience significant drag on things like youtube video.

If you downloaded the LL ISO file from the website then utilized an application (win32image etc..) to "burn: image to USB (or CD) this will be the "Live" environment. Its a trial system that you can boot to to test LL without installing - there is an install icon on the desktop.


If you did this, then using the install icon to install LL and chose a USB disk then you do have LL installed to a disk albeit a USB.


Performance - whether Live or Installed to USB its still using the USB port and its read/write speeds and the speeds associated to the USB disk... Therefore it will be slower as compared to installing to the hard disk (which has much faster read/write speeds).


The bottle neck of performance most likely will be the USB port regardless of CPU/RAM. Which is why you see drag on videos.


For clarifications the USB is NOT essentially a SSD - SSD's are very fast, faster than a spinning platter hard disk (typical hard drive).




If you plan to install LL to the hard drive you can run along side Windows (dual boot) I suggest reading the forums and the help manual: https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/insta...instllcomp
