Q: is Qubes OS a "portable" installation?

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

Being new to Qubes OS on an USB stick, I wonder whether the installation is "portable", meaning whether I can put the stick into different computers. Or is specific hardware-configuration saved during installation (like passing the NIC to the network VM) or at first boot?

Of course I'd like it to be portable ;-)

Regards,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich.
It's portable indeed, provided you can boot from USB (precludes recent
Dell ), and system has VT-d etc enabled, and system supports whatever of
UEFI/Legacy you chose at install.

Thanks,

great to know. If it's not in the docs, it should be added IMHO.
