Subject: usb installation hdd
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
