Please Mr. Engineer, tell me HOW. Don't just tell me I could because that's not very helpful.
The whole point of me asking is to know HOW.

Last time I used the Berryboot installer it had options to install the root file system on alternate media, so might look into that. You'll still need the initial boot partition on a microSD card, though, but it can be read only. (Granted, that install was with the version of Berryboot for the Cubi...

PC of my dream. That is to high an expectation as you clearly state you want it to perform like an x86 PC from within the last decade :roll: I never said that, all I want it to do is to stop crashing.

I am sure that if it somehow becomes possible in the future, it will happen. What I would like to know is where can I buy a microsd male to male ribbon cab...

I want to install ubuntu on a usb stick and directly boot from it on my raspberry pi 2. I need a cable that will insert into the micro sd slot on one end and plug into my usb stick on the other end. The elan mobidapter would have been perfect if they haven't discontinued the product: http://www.sael...
