In this article we are going to cover how to install a linux distro to a USB Drive that allows you to use the usb drive as you would normally use the devices hard disk.
Please note this is different to using liveUSB mode or Persistant USB
The first time I did this, I looked at every forum and blog I could find but they all pointed at just a liveCD.
