I don't have any Windows systems, I can't comment on how well it works for a Windows user.
Sorry, there is a deicated page for Windows: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Create_a_Live_USB_stick_using_Windows
Right, thanks for the link.
Rufus has a separate section.
Exactly! :-D So (despite the fact that it *may* be necessary to double check if it's still accurate... e.g., I see "openSUSE 12.2" being mentioned, and I also don't have a Win setup for trying whether the rest of the info are valid) the info is there, somewhere, and that is great. I still think, though, that such info should be made a little bit more prominent and easy to reach. :-) And, of course, that doesn't mean to put an ugly *WARNING: Rufus users look here* banner on the IOS download page. We need to find a cool and fancy way of conveying the message. Oh, and sure, mine is just *one* *single* example, nothing statistically relevant at all. But I totally see how a potential new user may go like: - let's try this oS distro - download the Live ISO, to check it out - make a stick the way I do for all other Live ISO I try <doesn't even boot> - oh, well, let's try some other distro :-( And even if there's no real guarantee that putting a paragraph about this on the download page, or a link to that Wiki page would absolutely and 100% prevent that... well, at least it's something. :-) Thanks and Regards -- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D http://about.me/dario.faggioli Virtualization Software Engineer SUSE Labs, SUSE https://www.suse.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- <<This happens because _I_ choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere)
