installing linux through USB
Hi,
My machine unable to read DVD content, so inorder to install linux , I am copying the linux contents (from iso image) to a USB and there after copying them to my machine. So can I install from this extracted content through USB now ? I am copying to ubantu now and i want to install opensuse for openfoam (some s/w which runs on opensuse only) I don't have liveUSB. Thanks, Barun |
Last time I needed a USB linux live drive, I used syslinux to make a Slax ISO bootable. They have it for download on the www.slax.org site for their quite sufficient Live Distro.
This is the wiki for syslinux: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX |
You can use unetbootin to easily convert an install iso into a usb install.
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net It may even be packaged for your distro. Cheers, Evo2. |
Go to pendrivelinux.com for ideas on different ways to install os's to flash drives.
Could still use a floppy or cd/usb to net install. See also netboot.me and bko for gpxe installs. I tend to leave distro's on usb drives. Not much use in putting them on the hard drive even. |
