If you: a) use dd to image an iso onto a flash drive, you now have an iso 9660 file system. It's not meant to be written ad-hoc from mount in an OS. If, instead, you: b) extract the files from the ISO to an appropriate r/w file system partition on a flash drive (FAT, eFAT, ext3, NTFS) then you can add/modify/delete files to your heart's content. However, with the latter approach, the mastered-for-ISO boot chain might only be expecting an ISO 9660 file system and therefore fail (in some cases) if it's not running off of one. Hence why there are often very detailed settings required to properly write some ISOs to flash drives and still end up with bootable media.

It means that when I open usb flash drive I see not .iso file, I see files and folders which I can't edit because it is not writable. I don't know, maybe it is the problem of DD mode writing of .iso, but I tried also usual .iso mode in Rufus and when I am changing anything then I got this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zGI53XZ6f-8BoX28XueuuAmDQmFVf4FT/view - 8GB flash drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ms_p53vRnSMy7OTjYFuSBlMH2ULvypLh/view - 1TB SSD drive Or you mean another method of copy files to USB drive? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Oryx Pro laptop (BOOTX64.cfg for Qubes 4.0.1)
Daniil Travnikov: Today I tried to change the xen configuration on a USB media. I tried to put in BOOTX64.cfg line 'modprobe.blacklist=nouveau' and change also some options but without any success because of .iso format file which has Write protection. I got this information from here: https://www.engetsu-consulting.com/blog/installing-qubes-4-0-on-laptops-with-nvidia-gpus-that-do-not-support-the-nouveau-driver And in my case VIM editor could not save any changes in .iso file. Don't edit the ISO directly. dd or cp it to a USB drive (not partition), then follow the steps and mount the second partition and edit files in there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
