How to run Debian from SD card but booting from USB stick?

I have a laptop which allows for booting from USB sticks but not from internal SD card reader. Is it possible to install Debian on SD card with /boot catalog and bootloader on USB stick in such a way that it would work? I mean: boot Debian from USB stick, but the whole system will be installed and

Doing a clean install with ATYPICAL constraints

I'm having problems with initial use of mariadb on Debian Testing. The *apparent* symptom is never being asked to provide an initial password an failure in creating one later. Operator error is high on list of possible causes ;/ However, >50 of trouble shooting experience hints at more. I've a

After downloading Release and Release.gpg, debmirror hangs (uses 100% CPU until killed). My guess is that there's a bug in the signature verification code that is triggered by the absence of the key in /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg and friends (this being a Debian 8 system). Unfo

Hi, I need to install "openjdk-7-jre-headless:i386" package in my amd64 Debian 8 system. However, it depends on "libstdc++6:i386" package which seems to break my system: # apt-cache depends libstdc++6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 Depends: gcc-4.9-base:i386 Depends: libc6:i386 Depends: libgcc1:i386
