noobs usb boot
#1
searching the inerweb i saw something about the newer noobs being able to install to usb.
so i downloaded the newest version from raspberry pi site unzipped and copied to a usb, pulled the sd card and booted up. noobs came up and i installed raspbian lite and it rebooted the sys. all seems to work.
so it looks like we will be able to run op from a usb stick in the new release."fingers crossed"

Jim do you have a feeling for any speed benefit or deficit using usb versus the sd card?

Thanks

the main reason i want to boot from usb is my rpi will be buried inside a monitor and would be a hassle if i needed to get to the sd card.that being said it does feel faster v1.0.0 i dont know if its because of being stretch or usb booting.
i think it would boot faster without noobs, but loading programs seems faster and boot times are a nonissue to me ..
so short answer yes seems faster..

be careful if I am not wrong this setting is irreversible, you will be not able to boot from an SD again.

no .it just adds usb to the boot options
it checks sd first if not found it looks for usb.
tested
it is irreversible
