About SAM.Zombie:

Notes that I Need to Move to a Better Place

For the Target I recommend a 32 GB or larger USB 3.0 or better flash drive, and I found that that the Samsung Bar brand works well. 

I strongly suggest that you label this flash drive with an adhesive labels such as what you can make with a Brother® P-touch® Electronic Label Maker, PTM95. If you use a small font, then trim the labels with a scissors, each label will fit nicely on the metal body of the flash drive (see picture).

Label it with a "datename" made from eight characters in this format:

  • yymmddaa

Use the current date followed by two letters to distinguish the drives.  Use "aa" for the first or only drive, and "ab", "ac", etc. for subsequent drives labeled on the same date.  For example, if you lableled three drives on March 18, 2025, use these labels:

  • 250318aa
    250318ab
    250318ac

Note that you should use this external label later on as an argument to the install program when installing Zombie Silas.  It will thus become part of the internal partition labels.

To update a ZombieDrive: Update the Basis if needed, update the configuration/persistence partition (mounted at /mnt/keep) if needed, and rerun install.
