Bootable USB

Steps to create a bootable USB

1. Partition your USB so you have one partition FAT16. Make sure it's bootable. 2. Issue m k d o s f s/ d e v / s d X 1or equivalent command. 3. Run s y s l i n u xi/ d e v / s d X 1(change X to your actual drive). 4. Go into the syslinux directory. For me it was /usr/lib/syslinux. 5. Issue this d dc o n v = n o t r u n cb s = 4 4 0c o u n t = 1i f = m b r . b i no f = / d e v / s d X . 6. Now download the ISO you want to use. I used dragora-2.2-i486.iso. 7. Mount the USB and copy all the files from the ISO to it. 8. Go to the directory where you mounted the USB and create a file called syslinux.cfg. 9. Fill the file with the following lines:
D E F A U L Td r a g o r a L A B E Ld r a g o r a S A YN o wb o o t i n gt h ek e r n e lf r o mS Y S L I N U X . . . K E R N E Lk e r n e l s / 3 2 b / g e n / v m l i n u z A P P E N Dr or o o t = / d e v / s d a 1i n i t r d = i s o l i n u x / i n i t r d . i m g

10. These lines might vary if you use another ISO. But just locate the vmlinuz and initrd.img and use those paths. 11. Unmount the USB and boot it! Written by Lucas "frusen" Skldqvist. 21 July 2013, 20:53 | (GNU Free Documentation License | Validate HTML)
