I have patched kiwi to create Windows friendly sticks now Basically you have two options to create the stick image which should be shown in the following Examples: 1) <type image="usb" filesystem="ext3" boot="usbboot/suse-11.3"/> kiwi --prepare ... --root /tmp/kiwi-11.3 kiwi --create /tmp/kiwi-11.3 -d /tmp/mytest/ --type usb ==> plug in the stick kiwi \ --bootstick /tmp/mytest/initrd-usbboot-suse-11.3.i686-2.1.1.splash.gz \ --bootstick-system /tmp/kiwi-11.3 --fat-storage 300 * This example requires a linux machine to deploy on the stick * The --fat-storage option allows to specify the size of the fat partition usable by Windows as data container (default 60M) * fat partition is first partition 2) <type image="oem" filesystem="ext3" boot="oemboot/suse-11.3"> ... optional oem and systemdisk settings </type> kiwi --prepare ... --root /tmp/kiwi-11.3 kiwi --create /tmp/kiwi-11.3 -d /tmp/mytest/ \ --type oem --fat-storage 300 * This example creates a virtual oem disk (expandable) and thus can be deployed with dd or with Matt's image writer tool on Windows too on first boot the stick is resized according to the oem options set in config.xml * The --fat-storage option allows to specify the size of the fat partition usable by Windows as data container (default 60M) * fat partition is first partition -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
