[opensuse-wiki] SUSE Studio Image Writer
Dear mbarringer, I found your adres in the about field of "SUSE Studio Image Writer". Please refer to: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/install-boot-login/444430- installation-usb-stick-using-suse-studio-image-writer.html Is imagewriter supposed to be used with .iso images? If yes there is a bug. It was mentioned in the wiki before it should be able to be used with .iso images. But I found one of the editors removed this info from the page. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SDB:Live_USB_stick&oldid=25132 http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SDB:Live_USB_stick&diff=next&oldid=25132 Regards Tim Mohlmann http://en.opensuse.org/User:Muhlemmer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it is possible (I just tested it yesterday... to put a Fedora LiveCD on an USB stick :) ), but it is not straight away. On windows, SUSE Studio Image Writer allows you to see *.raw file only. To select an ISO, you have to press "Select", then put "*.*" on the "filename" text box in order to see all files. You you can then choose the .iso file. However, drag'n'drop the ISO on the application doesn't work. I'll update the wiki asap.

Yes and no. It will work with hybrid ISO images, which are what most LiveCDs are, including OpenSUSE's. It will not work with standard ISO images, like distribution DVDs or ISOs created with SUSE Studio. Think of it more as a safe dd(1) with a progress bar :-) Thanks, Matt -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) http://susestudio.com http://www.novell.com/linux

But what about: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SDB:Live_USB_stick&diff=next&oldid=25132 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634956 ? Sorry, I have not any Win7 so I am not able to confirm one or the other. But maybe there could be separate wiki articles (1) on the openSUSE imagewriter packet/program and (2) on the making of a live USB or at least an install USB for using the imagewriter to install openSUSE to keep that trouble a bit out of the (3) article on "USB live stick" ? puzzled pistazienfresser -- - openSUSE 11.2 with GNOME 2.28.2 (or KDE 4.3.5) and Kernel Linux 2.6.31.14-0.1-desktop (or ~pae, ~default, Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 'lucid' 2.6.33-24-genetic, MS Win XP) - Samsung X20 Pentium M 740 (1730 MHz) Intel 915GM 1400x1050 - openSUSE profile: https://users.opensuse.org/show/pistazienfresser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
