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!
You can always use rewritable media. That way, procedures remain exactly
the same.
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.
You will pay a premium for the USB drive over using optical media,
rewritable or not, and there's no need to keep them when you've finished
with them.
If you do go USB, contemplate a notebook drive in a USB enclosure. The
disks are faster and more capacious, and fit nicely into a shirt pocket
from which you can drop them with great ease when bending over;-)
