Sure, there are many distros that are releasing USB image or tools to convert LiveCD/DVD iso images to Live USB versions. > I want to use CENTOS 5.3 and NET BEANS 6.8 on pen drive. > anybody give idea to use the pendrive or not. I am guessing you want to *install* CentOS on a pen drive and not make a Live USB image (from a Live CD iso file). Take a look at this link <http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-centos-5-live-install-via-windows/> if you want to convert a Live CD to a Live USB image. If you want to install the OS on the pendrive, then you can boot from the install CD and instead of selecting the hard disk (typically /dev/sda), you can point to the pen drive disk for example, with one hard disk on your system, your pendrive will show up as /dev/sdb. Make sure that the grub menu points to the correct device name i.e. the pendrive device. Warning, do not create swap partition on a pendrive. > If it is possible i use 8 GB. > already myself try to instal pendrive linux on 2 g.b. > and failed in that process. > And also that 2 gb pen drive is not formated in XP. The installer must have created an ext3 or ext4 file system which is not a "native" FS for XP. > So that 2 gb pen drive is not in use. You can always reformat it. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
