Re: [CentOS] how to install CentOS onto a USB flash drive from Windows?
From: Rudi Ahlers r...@softdux.com Can anyone please point me to a link with instructions on how to install CentOS 5 onto a USB flash drive, preferably from Windows? I would like to create a full running CentOS installation (with minimal packages obviously) that runs off a USB flash drive, and I don't have a Linux machine to use for this installation right now. Why not just boot from the CentOS DVD and do a normal install on the USB drive? But watch out not to burn out you USB drive (limited number of writes).

[CentOS] how to install CentOS onto a USB flash drive from Windows?
Hi all, Can anyone please point me to a link with instructions on how to install CentOS 5 onto a USB flash drive, preferably from Windows? I would like to create a full running CentOS installation (with minimal packages obviously) that runs off a USB flash drive, and I don't have a Linux machine to use for this installation right now. The best I could find is this one: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-centos-5-live-install-via-windows/ but it seems this is just creating a Live CD on a USB drive, not plain CentOS. i.e. I want to install CentOS, setup users, install selected packages, etc. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
