I have just installed Linux Mint on a 8 gig memory stick for my dell mini. The reason i have put this on a memory stick is that my hard drive is no longer working. My problem is that i have found that Linux mint is unstable on a USB stick i have had endless problems with getting it to work properly in persistent mode. Either after a while Linux mint will refuse to load or all my icons will desapear from my home screen and my screen will go blue deleting my chosen desk top wall paper. Trying to recover my desktop theme is impossible because it refuses to change from that blue screen. My new problem now is that i decided to to update Linux mint through the update manager hoping it would reverse any bugs that might be there, well every thing seemed to go well until i had to reboot my laptop. It is now impossible for me to use Linux mint as it is asking for a User name and Password. It never asked me to create one in the first place and no matter what i type in, it will not accept it. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what i can do apart from re installing it on my USB as i have done that many times but something always seems to go wrong with mint so i am always uninstalling and reinstalling. I do like Mint more than the others is just a nightmare in persistant mode on USB. Thanks in advance I am very new to Linux and know absolutely nothing about this Os.

The Kernel wipes unecessary entries as soon as it needs memory for other purposes. Until them the chaces are kept. Unused RAM is just useless. @vga over cat5: It is completely useless to flush the block cache on Linux.
