Freebsd-8.0-RELEASE-i386-memstisck: MEMSTICK install for DEBIAN TESTING please !
Hello,
One cannot install Debian by using a memstick. Whatever kind of methods Debian proposes are kind of outdated or complicated. Bsd is better and offer this: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/re...6-memstick.img Please could some work on that to propose same quality things as BSD. thanks a lot for the community. Pendrive are today used by many. It is true that Debian is always out-dated but maybe with lot of help of the community, we can make Debian better, even. |
Is the Debian method that hard?:

frenchn00b why do you even bother to run Debian? Almost every post you make about Debian is nothing but complaints about how bad it is.
Every one of your complaints could be solved with a simple Google search. And by actually reading the documentation that is available. If you do not like it use BSD or some other Linux distro. Debian works and it works very well. If it didn't there wouldn't be dozens and dozens of Debian based distros. |

Debian usb install: well It doesnt work. It says that the /cdrom is missing. Well. I try again ... ok. Let's give a try if it has been fixed since few months ago... I let you know about it very soon It has been known as a reported bug (google search). (maybe some happy gilmore) |
yeap ... still debian pendrive buggy.
here are teh results: Quote:
So, Debian not buggy? I got: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/te...ia/boot.img.gz and with this one: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...86-netinst.iso :( :( hence an image for pendrive for Debian would be great. |
Regarding the above files, you got the boot.img from testing and the netinstall from stable.
Maybe that is a reason for not working. I know there is no netinstall for testing, but you can try the business card iso. |

I strictly followed this how to and it works fine. I used the wget and url as indicated above I boot the pendrive and the pc says : MBR FA: and hangs ... pfff :( |
I tried now the flexible way for installing debian:
red screen and got inconsistency detect by ld.so : rtld.c : 1192 : dl that's not difficult to install debian, sure ?? |
another technique
I took the ISO of debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso mount as loop to /mnt/debian-testing-i386-iso and did mkdosfs /dev/sda1 Code:
cp -a /mnt/debian-testing-i386-iso/* /media/pendrive put syslinux copied the http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dist...edia/initrd.gz and vmlinuz and now the usb bootable starts with the question Code:
BOOT: Code:
07:/media/pendrive# ls -ltra |
If you prefer a Windows/Ubuntu like tool:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ I never understood its purpose before reading your post (the trooper's howto should just work and doesn't require any extra software). |
Just install nFlux Squeeze squeeze/sid edition frenchnoob and remaster it into what you want
put it on usb if syslinux already installed or use Unetbootin http://multidistro.com/ |

PS: Your image seems to have non-debian software. How is that useful for installing debian? |

Unless linus72 has a reason for suggesting his image over the original one he's just spamming for his own benefit. |
