I am new to Fedora. I was trying to make a Live USB from a running
Live CD session per the instructions here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo
About half way down that page:
Bootable USB from a running Live CD/DVD
If you are already running a live CD or DVD and want to convert that
into a bootable USB stick, run the following command:
livecd-iso-to-disk /dev/live /path/tousbstick
With a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer mounted as sdi1, I went into /mnt/live/
LiveOS and ran:
./livecd-iso-to-disk squashfs.img /dev/sdi1
The script runs, and asks to add an MBR etc, but it cannot complete
and gives this message:
Unable to fit live image + overlay on available space on USB stick
Size of live image: 4096
Overlay size:
Available space: 3729
Cleaning up to exit...
The squashfs.img is 686MB, so this should work? I also tried --no-
verify and --overlay-size-mb set to zero and low values. I got the
same message. I did some searching, and found a thread about tricks
for doing Live USB from Live CD:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2008-05/msg02160.html
However, I figured since it was in the wiki, it is supposed to work.
Also, the code that I saw was referencing $CDMNT and $USBMNT, but I
have no such environment variables on my running Live install. Any
clues?
Thanks,
Rob
