Building an install pkg to be installed over The std Raspian install will allow you boot from a usb device such as an ssd or even usb stick which is more reliable. The noobs install will not permit this.
I was able to install Openplotter without problems on a USB drive. Simply download the latest version of NOOBS, overwrite the NOOBS files from the openplotter 0.10.0 download by mixing folders and overwriting existing folders and files. Then we can connect our USB(NOOBS) and start the installation.
If the USB boot flag is already activated in our Rpi 3, the system will start from the USB after a few seconds. I've already checked it successfully.
It is true that NOOBS steals a certain portion of disk space, but having the ability to restore a system if this fails is something very valuable.
I personally have compiled an updated version of openplotter based on jessie but with the system updates until today (including the WPA safety patch) and with the 0.16.0beta version of openplotter updated and graphically tuned to my personal liking. It also includes the latest version of NOOBS and is therefore bootable from USB systems. Checked.
while sailoog compiles the 0.16.0 build based on stretch.......
