Hello, I have a mini 9. I would like to install OSs on 16gb SD cards and use the internal 64GB SSD for data of all of them. Please help me! Thank You! |

Not on the internal SD reader, no. You can't boot from it. |

Although it is not simple there is a way to actually boot from an SD card. You can either 1) Use a USB card reader... (USB devices are seen by the bios as bootable devices...) 2) Or add additional modules to the kernel of your OS (with linux it would be easier I guess) and use grub to boot. If you are still interested and know how to mess around with your OS here is a post where I discuss the details for two linux distros... and soon I hope to be able to dual boot windows and ubuntu (windows installed in the internal SSD drive an ubuntu from the slot reader) booting-from-sd-card--t615.html Best, p.s. And yeah.... stop crossposting. It is annoying having to post several times...  Mini Dell 9. 2Gb Ram. 4Gb SSD. Running: Ubuntu Hardy, Intrepid and Puppy Linux 4.12 retro. ================================================== == |
