Tom,
Since I did not wish to go through the chores of installing "Virtual
Box" and then running Fedora in it, I decided to burn a Sugar Mango
Lassi CD, and then to use livecd-iso-to-disk
As per the instructions, I booted up the CD, loaded Sugar, went to
terminal activity, became root, and changed directory to /LiveOS
So far so good.
I executed the following command as stated in the instructions -- the
USB Flash Drive was in /dev/sdc1
./livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb
175 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /dev/live /dev/sdc1
The system came back promptly with the livecd-iso-to-disk usage options
In other words, the options I was passing to the program were incorrect!
when I did a ls /dev
I did not find /dev/live listed. I did see a /dev/cdrom listed, but no
/dev/live
In other words, where is the iso source, that is supposed to be copied
to the Flash drive?
Help will be appreciated.
regards
Rajiv
