dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86
Getting started?
thane:
I also tried the instructions in the readme's, using the ISO I burned to CD before.
The tce directory and the sub-directories were created OK on USB stick, and the backup worked (albeit with nothing installed). However when I tried the imports I got the same "could not create symlinks" error messages as before.
edit: I don't get the error messages if I boot from CD with no USB stick tce. I assume in that case the tce directory and packages are being created in memory? Maybe there's some sort of permissions error on the USB stick directories?

Re: Pendrives
The only way I could reproduce this error was to attempt to use a ZIP style pendrive. That is a non-linux partition.
Typically the second partition is vfat and it fails. Changing it to ext2 it worked as expected.
However zip type pendrive installs are limited to the smaller pendrives and likely you will run out of space.

Re Using the iso
I verified that dCore.gz and vmlinuz inside the iso are the same as the stand-alone versions.
Be sure that you are using a linux partition and that you have not run out of space or co-mingling with Core native backup or other native files.

Hi roberts! Thank you for helping me.
My USB pendrive is formatted with a single FAT partition, and a normal DOS partition table, using Gparted. Here's its current status:
--- Code: ---[root@archlinux ~]# LANG=C fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 16.0 GB, 16008609792 bytes, 31266816 sectors

As said above, "be sure that you have a linux partition"...
