Yes. There are specialized distros for that purpose - a regular distro would quickly kill the flash drive with write operations.
Not modern flash. Especially not if connected via USB 2.0. Writing continuously at full USB 2.0 speeds, it will take nearly a decade to wear out a 1G drive that does wear-leveling.
Is that commonly found in plain 8-16G USB flash sticks? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
