Bootable USB
This is the "unofficial" hard way on how to create a Bootable USB from a SLAX/LG3D ISO.An alternative easy way is to make a LiveUSB instead !
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
