Hi all,
I downloaded openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso and wanted to burn it into
usb flashdisk.
I've never known anyone to use the words "burn" and "flashdisk" in the
same sentence. Have I been missing something?
That's I think too :)
However, I have situation where I can't boot from cdrom because the notebook
doesn't have the drive. But, it can boot from USB.
So, I thought I can boot from USB flashdisk from the Opensuse mini iso, and
from there perform network installation of Opensuse10.2.
Something like passing install=nfs://myserver:/src hostip=xxx.xxx.x.x etc etc.
Sorry for the confusion.
IIRC, you need to install grub and an MBR on the flash disk after
formatting it with, e.g. ext3. An ISO image will use the "El Torito" (I
think it's called) boot mechanism which works differently and is only
for CDs, DVDs, etc. You may be able to loopback mount the ISO and copy
the files to the disk, then use grub-install's --root-directory
parameter to make it bootable.
