Bootable USB

The "unofficial" guide on how to create a Bootable USB from a SLAX/LG3D ISO

NOTE : Ubuntu syslinux is broken you must manually install the mtools package before you try and use it otherwise you will get a mcopy error !

# mkdosfs -I /dev/sda
 
# mkdir myiso
# mkdir myusb

# mount -o loop slax-popcorn-5.1.8.iso  myiso
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda myusb

# cp -r myiso/* myusb

# cd myusb

# cp boot/isolinux.bin .
# cp boot/vmlinuz .
# cp boot/initrd.gz .
# cp boot/memtest .
# cp boot/splash* .

# mv isolinux.bin syslinux.bin
# mv isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg

# vi syslinux.cfg [[ delete all refs to /boot/ ]]

# cd ~

# umount myusb

# syslinux /dev/sda


REBOOT your PC and check BIOS boots from USB before harddisk
