Hi,
If you've got a network connection would it not be better to install
the large images on a network accessible hard drive, front ended by,
say, apache/NFS. Then just put the generally much smaller installer
images on the USB device, or even use PXE?

Hello all !
After i download any scientific Linux distro from the internet, i have
to burn it to a DVD, CD or a number of CDs to install it. That CD or DVD
is generally used only once after which it lies unused , and worse,
almost every Linux distro comes up with a new release every 6 months.i
have dozens of CDs lying at the bottom of my drawer where they get
scratches. What a wastage of CDs!
i want to make a usb harddisk(linux bootable) that contain all the
scientific linux versions so that i can install any linux on any
system by just changing the boot order from cdrom to usb .
It will make me to add any new versions on the installation harddisk and
make my work easier.
i want to get rid of using cds and dvds.
Can anyone help me in making that kind of linux bootable installation hdd.
Regards from
