Making a Boot Disk

[chome4]

Just downloaded: Super_OS_10.10_32_bits and extracted it to a folder. How do I cut the files onto a blank DVD to be bootable?

When I last downloaded an iso file, I just double-clicked it and it launched the DVD burner and it did the rest.

try unetbootin

Just burn the ISO file at no more than 8X after first checking the MD5SUM (Tools => Burn Image), or

1. Download your chosen ISO file, noting the path to where it was downloaded (i.e. /home/username/Downloads/)

2. Insert your USB stick and learn how it is recognized by the system, To do so, enter the command:

sudo ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*usb*
(or eliminate "sudo" if entering as root)

This should produce output along the lines of:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-03-15 22:54 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-_USB_DISK_2.0_077508380189-0:0
-> ../../sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-03-15 22:54 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-_USB_DISK_2.0_077508380189-0:0-
part1 -> ../../sdb1

3. Unmount the usb stick (NOTE: replace the X in sdX with whatever was returned in the first line from command above)

sudo umount /dev/sdX

4. Use this command to write (as root) the image iso to your USB stick:

dd if=/path/to/your/distro.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync

You should now have a bootable USB stick of your chosen Operating System.

Thanks for that. I'll try them both later...

when I enter: sudo ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*usb*

I get:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-07-09 14:57 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_101_II_001372982D2AA9B0963704C0-0:0 -> ../../sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-07-09 14:57 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_101_II_001372982D2AA9B0963704C0-0:0-part1 -> ../../sdb1

When I then change sudo umount /dev/sdX and replace the 'X' with:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-07-09 14:57 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_101_II_001372982D2AA9B0963704C0-0:0 -> ../../sdb

I get:

bash: ../../sdb: Permission denied

What's the difference between Netinstall, HDmedia and _Live. Which one do I choose?

I'm also getting:

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } 7z not found. This is required for either install mode.
Install the "p7zip-full" package or your distribution's equivalent.

When I run the executable program.
