Three years ago, I wrote a small series about having all my favourite tools on a USB flash drive when I am on the go. Some things have changed in these years, so the time has come to write fresh blog posts on the subject. My main aim is a full portable Linux OS, and this third part is about just that!

This part is about the boot loader and miscellaneous tools accessible from there.

This first article is about the “bootable” part.
