boot from usb install from harddrive
So I'm trying to install vector linux but my cddrive broke. So I can boot the instalation from a usb but then it says it can't find the installation media. It says it has to be on the harddrive or a cdrom. So how do I put the iso on a hardrive partition so it can be used by the installer.
I currently have windows alongside Linux mint. Can I put the iso somewhere on my existing linux partition or does it need to be on a blank one? Will this even work? Edit Ok I found this 4.3 Direct ISO on a Linux Host If you have another Linux running on the computer, this method will be easy. You need to download the following files into a directory (e.g: /home/download): * The chosen VectorLinux ISO image file. * vlinstall-iso Find it as “install/vinstall/vinstall-iso” within the FTP site Now go to the text console (press Cntrl-Alt-F1) and login as root. Proceed as follows: * Switch to run level 2 (or 3 in Slackware/Redhat, etc) init 2 <enter> * Go to the directory where you downloaded the files, i.e.: /home/download cd /home/download<enter> * Now, install using the ISO file ./vinstall-iso vl-5.0.iso <enter> I assume I can't install it on the same partition It's coming from right? But otherwis i think I got it. |
Some Linux lets you install from USB?

Sounds like it will not work for you. Why not try a Linux distro that will work in installtion from USB?
