    I tried to install Linpus Lite onto a UFD (USB flash drive) by cloning the Linpus partition on my AAO's SSD using CloneZilla. However when booting from the UFD I just get a grub> prompt. I suppose editing a few configuration files on the UFD should do the trick but have no idea how to do so. Can anyone help?

    I have tried modifying /boot/grub/device.map (by swapping sda with sdb) with no effect.

    I have also tried different cloning methods - g4l (ghost for Linux) and GParted's partition copying. In either case I just get a black screen or a few gibberish characters during boot. Why is that?

    Many TIAs!
