Does anyone know how I can turn the flash drive into a bootable install disk?
Hi Ruben,
There is some documentation on the wiki[0] but I've never used it myself.

I've used these instructions, and they are well written and work great. I install openSUSE exclusively from a USB drive on my computers now.

I'm using a cruzer micro 8g disk and its not working. When I try to boot it, it says can't boot hdd or something of that affect.

Hi
Did you change the boot device in the BIOS? Is the USB stick set as bootable? What version of the EeePC do you have? (I had succes with this tutorial and an original (701) 8G)
Hope we can find it, but you can always use the install CD, a sub 2GB fat 16 partition and the original mkbootdisk

Actually, I tried to walk though the perl code in mksusebootdisk and can't find any particular bugs except that at one point it seems to install and remove ldlinux.sys ------------------------------------------- print STDERR "copy of ldlinux.sys from \$opt_syslinux is: $opt_syslinux to $src/ldlinux.sys\n"; system "cp $opt_syslinux $src/ldlinux.sys" and die "error: no syslinux?\n"; system "ls $src|grep ld"; $boot_disks = 2; unlink "$src/ldlinux.sys"; ------------------------------------- Also this system is a SuSE 9.3 (which is one of the reasons I'm attempting to do this) Ruben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
