installation from USB stick using dd
by oui from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5N7YE)
I install often linux using 8 GB stick and dd
to do that,
- I prepare the stick with gparted:
-- new table
-- format fat16
-- set bootable
(if mounted > Thunar mount it immediately!!!)
-- unmount
and
I prepare my command in the editor (to do it slow and save ;-), for ex.
dd if=/root/spot/1depot/isos/Redcore.Linux.Hardened.2101.KDE.amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress
and start it in the console with ENTER, what is more easy.
for most small iso's, always success!
but especially with above Redcore iso, the partition is in this case to small!
nothing to do...
is an other way simply USING dd available?
