USB stick install question ?
Hello,
I was reading debian docs how to install using usb stick(Installation guide 4.3.2.2). One thing is not clear to me: At first I install syslinux and copy vmlinuz and initrd.gz files to fat16 filesystem. Lets say that my stick boots debian installer with no problem now. How do I copy all other installation files: 1. I copy whole iso CD image file to my stick and point iso file location to debian setup. or 2. I extract iso contents to usb stick filesystem ? thanks Vilius |
hi,
usually you put the iso image on the stick: I never did this by hand - I'm too lazy :-) I usually use Unetbootin. (By the way, a good way to see the structure, is to create a usb stick with Unetbootin and then look how it is build!) bye giammy |

4.3.1. Copying the files — the easy way Code:
There is an all-in-one file hd-media/boot.img.gz which contains all the installer files (including the kernel) as well as syslinux and its configuration file. hd-media/boot.img.gz -- 256 mb image (compressed) for USB memory stick is the one you want http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dis...ia/boot.img.gz |
