Hi.
I'd like to put Sabayon 5.2 onto a 2GB USB pen in order to install on a PC. However when I opened UNetbootin I noticed the highest version for Sabayon was 4 [picture attached]. Is it worth trying? Otherwise what is the best alternative to UNetbootin? Thanks.
It only takes a couple minutes to give it a try.
You could also try:
BootMyISO
and
LinuxLive USB Creator
Look at the Diskimage: ISO option on your Unetbootin screen. :) You can use any ISO that you've downloaded to your hard drive.
I misread the UNetbootin text. The top part is only for downloading. All is fine now. Thanks C.S.Cameron & snowpine. :p
Is it always best to format the USB Pen Drive to fat (msdos)?
I tried to boot up with Sabayon 5.2 from my USB Pen Drive.
- I hit F8 to enter the quick boot select menu, then chose USB Flash Disk 1100.
- Then I got some text and a boot prompt like this ~ boot:
- I waited for a while but nothing happened.
- I hit enter and it says 'Could not find kernel image: linux'
Here is a picture that may shed some light on this [attached]. What must I do?
Maybe this will help? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...b-nice-798254/
Or you could try asking over on the Sabayon forums, I'm sure they know the answer...
Personally I use a Linux filesystem (like ext3) on my thumb drives; you couldn't pay me to use a DOS filesystem. ;)
Okay I will give Ext3 a try. Cheers snowpine. I will check out that link.
Just a further note: I installed Slitaz onto another old pen drive (256MB) with the exact same method and it too started with a screen with some text and a boot: prompt. However after about 3 seconds it booted automatically.
So far the only Distro I have installed on a USB Pen Drive is Slitaz. I tried Backtrack 4 and still could not boot.
