[opensuse] OpenSuSE 12.1: install to USB disk
Hello, I was looking for some way to install a OpenSuSE 12.1 to a USB harddisk. I found websites that describe installation to USB sticks but they all need some Windows tools (e.g. this one http://www.lidux.de/opensuse-usb-stick-installieren-persistent-windows/ ) I am looking for some method to do this without windows. Something like: 1) take downloaded OpenSuSE 12.1 ISO, burn to DVD 2) attach USB disk to computer 3) boot computer from DVD 4) select USB disk as installation location 5) finish installation (other Linux installation on builtin HDD is not touched. 6) reboot, select if you want to use GRUB from USB disk or GRUB from internal harddisk. 7) boot installation from USB disk or from builtin HDD 8) change settings and so on 9) save settings and other installations on e.g. USB disk Thanks in advance -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!

Hi there, In openSUSE you can use the imagewriter. Simply install it with zypper install imagewriter open it from the menu, select your usb drive and drag n drop the iso you want in it. imagewriter will do the rest. You will find it really easy to use it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If you want to put the DVD on USB you'll need to install 'syslinux' and run 'isohybrid' pointing it to the ISO before you can load the DVD on a USB. For using 'dd' instead of the Imagewriter, dd if=/path/to/diskimage of=/path/of/USBdevice -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
