Re: [gentoo-user] Making a usb Demo Disk
Is there a way to install a program that runs on Gentoo on a usb stick? I would like to be able to booted to the usb stick and run the program in a Gentoo environment? Basically I would like to make a demo disk with the program and just enough of the OS so it works. I think the answer lies somewhere between making a liveusb and stage 4. * Install Gentoo onto usb drive. * Use a kernel with lots of device support so it will work in different systems (genkernel maybe), make sure it has support for your filesystem, USB drivers and SCSI disk support compiled in. * Add a rootdelay as a kernel parameter * Install your program before leaving the chroot * Profit :) -- Kyle
