On Thu May 24 2007, Fajar Priyanto scratched these words onto a coconut shell, hoping for an answer:

Hi all, I downloaded openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso and wanted to burn it into usb flashdisk.

Is it: dd if=openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso of=/dev/sdb1 ? Because the files are there after the dd, but when I boot from it, it just stays there (blank screen with blinking cursor).

Is the flashdisk bootable? -- j I've lived in the real world enough, we're all here because we ain't all there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What you have done is cloning the dvd structure (sector by sector) into an existing partition, obliterating that partition previous structure. And the partition table is not updated - nor that it would be possible, there is no partition type "iso". though, it would probably be readable, even mountable by a running linux, playing with fstab first. To boot from that I think is asking too much. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
