  6. So after reading up on , I've attempted to put on my microSD. Whilst it is best known as the filesystem on CDs/DVDs, you can put it on USB storage devices as well. It does have some caveats when you do (you have to jump through some hoops to have the best compatibility¹).

    I've tried to do it manually, but this¹ script did the job (it wasn't verbose about it); next step /etc/fstab
