Hi all, I downloaded openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso and wanted to burn it into usb flashdisk.
I've never known anyone to use the words "burn" and "flashdisk" in the same sentence. Have I been missing something?
That's I think too :) However, I have situation where I can't boot from cdrom because the notebook doesn't have the drive. But, it can boot from USB. So, I thought I can boot from USB flashdisk from the Opensuse mini iso, and from there perform network installation of Opensuse10.2. Something like passing install=nfs://myserver:/src hostip=xxx.xxx.x.x etc etc. Sorry for the confusion.
IIRC, you need to install grub and an MBR on the flash disk after formatting it with, e.g. ext3. An ISO image will use the "El Torito" (I think it's called) boot mechanism which works differently and is only for CDs, DVDs, etc. You may be able to loopback mount the ISO and copy the files to the disk, then use grub-install's --root-directory parameter to make it bootable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
