So what's going on here is that my computer is running out of memory because of my excessive use of computer. I cleared out some of that stuff I didn't need and made more room for my minecraft which was really all I wanted to use the room for. Unfortunately I can't because I still don't have enough room and I can't really delete anything on my computer. I was wondering if there was a way to make minecraft run from an 8GB flash drive that I have. I am currently running ubuntu 12.04, so this is one for you linux people out there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
If you don't have enough space to run minecraft then I think you really need to get a new hard drive or something. But to answer your question, it is possible to have minecraft run from a flash drive with ubuntu by using a persistent usb install. Be warned though that it may be slow and, someone correct me if I'm wrong, it can decrease the lifespan of your flashdrive due to all the writes. There are guides out there that show you how to make a persistent usb but here are a couple that can help you.
I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your computer and/or flash drive. You follow these own guides and advice at your own risk.
I recommend making 3 partitions on your usb. The first one formatted with NTFS or FAT32 so windows can use it, the second one formatted in EXT2 with 900MB for the ubuntu live install, and the third one formatted in EXT2 named casper-rw for the persistence drive.
If you need any help with setting up the persistence usb then google is your friend.
