Hans,

I'm glad you got this up and running. If I had read this message first, I wouldn't have spent the time to write the other now redundant message.

I'd be very concerned that an old version of Etcher works, and newer ones do not. That is very troubling to me.

Next, when you compare HamPC running on a USB drive to Linux Mint running on the internal disk -- that's like comparing apples to oranges.

Do you know if you have HamPC on a USB 2 or USB 3 flash drive? Do you know if the port you have the flash drive plugged into is a USB 2 or 3 port?

USB 2 max transfer speeds are 480 Mbps. USB 3 max transfer speeds are 3.2 Gbps. That's roughly 6X - 10X faster. I'd use USB 3 flash drive in USB 3 port.

Finally, how you flash HamPC matters. Etcher writes the image differently than Rufus does, and I recommend Rufus. Running the image written by Rufus will run faster than the image written by Etcher. I included instructions in a readme document stating explicitly to use Rufus to write the image.

In summary: write image with Rufus and use USB 3 flash drive and USB 3 port on PC for fastest speed.

Hi Dave,
????? my PC does have a motherbord with 2 USB 3.1 interfaces and I use a brand new 3.1 USB Stick 64GB. (OS Win10 Enterprice)
I did try rufus-3.13.exe? result: rufus does create 2 partions (UEFI and 16GB) but does not flash the image. No error message!.
Yes I did proof if the filehash of the image file is ok.
I ham friend near found same behavier on a different hardware.
Now I wonder which rufus version you use. Or what else makes the difference?
