UNetBootIn allows you to create a bootable USB disk from the network or from a bootable CD, DVD, harddisk or image. Here is how you do it:
- download unetbootin from http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net
- install some dependencies, in this case for SUSE Linux:
yast -i libpng12-0-32bit p7zip
- open a console, make the downloaded file executable, e.g.:
cd cd Downloads chmod 777 unetbootin-linux-575
- open a console as root and clear your syslog:
dmesg -c
- insert your USB stick
- find out what device has been attached by reading the syslog, e.g.:
# dmesg [22005.395073] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 [22005.397312] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdi] 15858688 512-byte logical blocks: (8.11 GB/7.56 GiB)
- in this case an 8 GB USB stick has been inserted and become known as /dev/sdi
- start unetbootin:
cd cd Downloads ./unetbootin-linux-575
- select which distribution you want to have installed on what disk:
