Title: need unetbootin for tc
Post by: Dualityonme on February 28, 2016, 12:04:30 AM

I have a lot of requests and questions.
Tried unetbootin but it doesn't show usb stick in a list,only Hard drives.
And rufus is only for Windows! >:( >:( >:(

unetbootin is not supported,  use tc-install extension instead

haven't found a way to get other than tiny core distros working with tc-install.

I just tried compiling it (requires qt-4.x) - it seems to offer all kinds of distros, but not tinycore...

Why would you want to use all of that bloat just to burn an iso to usb stick:

Code: [Select]

dd if=Core-current.iso of=/dev/sdX
..should work.

'seems to work to me:

Code: [Select]

$ dd if=/mnt/sdb1/tmp/TinyCorePure64-7.0alpha1.iso of=/dev/sdc
49152+0 records in
49152+0 records out
25165824 bytes (24.0MB) copied, 12.187199 seconds, 2.0MB/s
Edit: I booted from the resulting usb stick without problems

I got the unetbootin gui compiled and working, but it doesn't allow me to select either a hard drive or usb drive to burn an iso to and doesn't provide any error messages, so I think I'll stick to "slimmer" methods  :P

Tried

Code: [Select]

sudo dd if=/mnt/sda1/CorePlus-current.iso of=/dev/sdb1
217088+0 records in
217088+0 records out
1111149056 bytes (111 MB) copied,  3.4320 s, 20.5 MB/s
Gives me 'Attempting to boot a USB Hard Drive...
isolinux.bin missing or corrupt.
No boot device present.Halting.'
When had ls typed before booting showed filenames with strange names((56))£8)78? - something like this)

That should be "of=/dev/sdb" not "of=/dev/sdb1"
