Choose a simple layout for your 8 GB USB drive. Set up the partitioning so you can easily transfer, download, and install Linux Mint 18.1.

This setup is for installing USB drives or using an installer. For the installer, tools like Rufus work well or you can create a single fat32 partition. On the USB itself, avoid using swap; instead, set up 500MB for boot and 200MB for EFI in fat32 at /boot/efi, with the rest of the system files on the main partition, likely using Btrfs.

This, but /boot can be quite small, around 2-3 MB should suffice.

After power-on I’m confused.

Ensure the kernel is located in /boot, requiring at least 200MB depending on the distribution. On CentOS, I'm using around 128MB for the base installation.

What would you like to achieve? For a bootable USB, use rufus; for installation on a USB, run it through the installer in Linux Mint.

After /boot, the system typically loads the kernel and initial bootloader.

It’s better to involve the installer directly because they have the expertise and insight for the best outcome.

There isn't an available choice.

Click through to the next page, then choose the drive. This is how I set up Mint on my 128GB USB for booting from my Chromebook.
