My method to boot DSL in USB thumb driveForum: HD Install Topic: My method to boot DSL in USB thumb drive started by: charleswong Posted by charleswong on May 12 2004,10:06
First of all, I downloaded usbboot.img and the iso file of version 0.63. Below are my steps to make a USB bootable DSL:1. mount -o loop usbboot.img /mnt 2. copy everything in /mnt to the usb dumb drive root directory. 3. copy the whole directory of /cdrom/KNOPPIX to the usb dumb drive. 4. make the usb thumb drive bootable: syslinux /dev/sda1 5. reboot the computer from the thumb drive. The computer could be booted successfully. Unfortunately, a familiar error message was prompted up and the computer halted. The error is somewhat like this: Can't find KNOPPIX filesystems. sorry... droping you very limited function.... .... .... What KNOPPIX filessystem is DSL looking for? Am I right by doing steps to make DSL usb bootable? Posted by buck on May 14 2004,16:39
