- Mini-Pentoo HowTo usbstick.
-
- To write this iso image to a usbstick is simple. Let's see:
-
- Create a bootable, 256 Megs or more, Linux partition on your USB
- pen drive. ie /dev/sda1 with fdisk like the following sentence
- (Watch out, it will suppress all data...)
- fdisk /dev/sda
- d
- n
- 1
- Choose the size you want...
- a
- w
-
- Format is Ext3 filesystem.
- mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
-
- Put the file mbr.bin on the whole filesystem:
- cat extra/mbr.in > /dev/sda
- (This file resides in the iso/cd in etxra/)
-
- Mount it on /mnt/usbstick:
- mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
-
- Copy the /isolinux, /modules and livecd.squashfs files on /mnt/usbstick.
-
- Use extlinux to write the bootloader on the stick :
- extlinux /mnt/usbstick/isolinux
-
- You're done. Hope you'll enjoy it.
