Very nice to know, thanks for this, DenverD.
But me thinks Lynn question is specifically directed at openSUSE and not broadly at all the other available distros.
(BUT, didn't SuSE some years ago have a "live" DVD available? One which I *think* I remember buying with a Linux-related magazine. Or am I simply dreaming? (more than likely :-) ))
No one has asked this question yet (that I've seen).... why does it have to be a "Live DVD"? Why can't the DVD ISO be simply copied to the USB device (assuming a 4+GB USB device) and made bootable? Why are we (as in the openSUSE project) still providing ONLY an DVD ISO... why aren't we providing/making a DVD USB image? There is this very messy, ugly, and unfriendly procedure: http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_install_from_USB_drive There is this handy tool with makes the process much more palatable http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and is in the Community repos. I've used this and it works perfectly for Ubuntu ISOs, but for some reason when I push an openSUSE ISO through it, it creates a bootable USB device, but part way though the boot cycle it fails... I've never bothered to figure out why (I was in a hurry and ended up using a bodged solution involving a SATA DVD drive and a stripped doen external hard drive case). Anyway... might this be actually what Lynn is looking for? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
