How to Install Linux On Pen Drive |
|
You can create new files in your USB drive On your favorite Linux Distro's and take it anywhere and just "plug and play" with your Linux. :)
Creating Bootable Linux On Pen Drive
I have download Slax for USB (slax-6.1.1.tar file) from slax
First Formatted the 2GB (Kingston) pen drive as ext3 file system.
[root@localhost slax]# mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 |
Then mount the pendrive under /mnt directory.
[root@localhost slax]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ |
Then copied the downloaded slax-6.1.1.tar file into /mnt and decompress the file.
[root@localhost slax]# cp slax-6.1.1.tar /mnt/ |
[root@localhost mnt]# tar -xvf slax-6.1.1.tar |
After decompressing then just remove the tar file
[root@localhost mnt]# rm slax-6.1.1.tar |
Then to install bootloader run the following script,
[root@localhost mnt]# sh boot/liloinst.sh |
That's it reboot the system and press F12 to set the boot device as USB.
Enjoy!!!!
