Quote | If you want to use DSL on a USB thumb drive with 5-way booting support, you will need to reboot your "real" computer and boot up natively using a DSL livecd. |
yep did that last night, although not with this one...I forgot I didn't build this one lol so I ended up stuffing around with the one I did build...the guy in sydney who put this one together for my boss didn't quite do it the way I would have....anyway..
Quote | You cannot do it from a virtual PC like VMWare or QEMU because you don't have direct access to your real PC's USB devices. |
yep had figured that out after playing around with it a couple of hours last night, but I have to check out linux in VM for another project I am working on......
Quote | So...
After downloading the ISO file, open up Nero and choose:
File -> Burn Image (For Nero 5.x)
or
Recorder -> Burn Image (For Nero 6.x)
and create a livecd. |
had done already
Quote | Then, reboot the computer and go into your BIOS. Enable booting from CDROM at higher priority than your hard drive. |
yep
Quote | Then boot up the livecd with the USB drive already plugged in and Right-Click on the desktop somewhere. |
yep worked second time once I had the disk in the right CD rom
Quote | Choose "Install to USB Pen Drive" from the menu and follow the instructions. |
I actually did that.....is the usb-zip and another option can't remember off the top of my head this second....
Quote | Finally, download the 5-way script and open a xterminal window and type "sudo su" and then ENTER key.
First you must untar (like UNZIP in Windows) the script file
tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz
Then cd into the newly created subdirectory and then type in the name of the script to run it. | needed to know that
the rest still has me a little confused, so I enter the command tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz within the terminal window.
to cd means absolutely nothing to me, and I am guessing the subdirectory wont be immediately obvious to me either at that point, ahhhhhhhhh are you saying to copy the directing into the subdirectory then run one of the files within it?
