I'd like to create a live 15.1 on a USB stick. Are there any official procedures? Please note, I want to create a usable system, not an install system. I already have one of those. A search turns up some procedures for Windows, but not Linux. I'd rather use Linux.
I think there is not too much special thing in how to make bootable anything (USB stick, HDD, SSD). You should give a volume name to all file system partitions and reference the partitions everywhere (in /etc/fstab, grub.cfg) by the volume names/labels. Then the system should find all the devices during boot. Give volume name even to the swap space if you use swap. It also might be necessary to make the initrd so that it would have root=LABEL= and resume=LABEL= in the linux kernel command line options. Or make an initrd image by disabling the hostonly option. It will make a larger initrd image that should have everything to boot the OS on any hardware (if I interpreted it correctly). See my previous comments in this month: Re: [opensuse] dracut --kernel-cmdline option not effective? https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2019-11/msg00290.html I did not do it with USB stick, only with HHD that I transferred to other computer and it worked.
