No success.
You could just use Sage live CD (bootable). If it boots from a CD, it
would boot from USB as well, I guess.

It is rather small, contains Sage 4.3.1 on Puppy Linux, and is
available from

http://mira.sunsite.utk.edu/sagemath/livecd/index.html

as well on other mirrors.

Hi,

To get the Sage Lice CD installed on USB should be easy. Start the
Live CD. Then Go to the
Menu>Setup>Puppy Universal Installer

There are plenty of install options. Choose USB hard drive or USB
flash drive.

The following menus should be straightforward, try to stick with the
install options.

I tested it and post this message from the live CD installed to a
flash drive.
Advantage is that it runs considerable faster than the LIVE CD and it
is easy to carry it around.

PS: There is also Menu>Setup>BootFlash Install Puppy to USB. This
wizard is more advanced and will also format your stick. If you want
to keep your data use the "universal installer" mentioned above
Tnx. I will try Sage live on USB for my new machines. But "on road" I use a 20 years old laptop that wont start from USB. Why? No one ever tried to steal it!
