How to install TCB-CP on a USB stick w/o a CD?

(1/2) > >>

Uqbar:
Useless to say I don't have a CD drive on my PC which is running another Linux desktop (Kubuntu).
Is there a way to install TCB-CP on a usb stick without the need to burn a (useless) CD?
Or is there an USB image to be "brunt" with dd or similar tools?
Thanks in advance.

Juanito:
Did you search these forums, I seem to recall there were one or two threads on dd and the iso.

Otherwise you could copy the distribution files (core.gz, vmlinuz) directly to usb stick from here:

http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/release/distribution_files/

..and adjust your bootloader accordingly.

Hi. Thanks for the answer.
I also searched the forum but didn't find anything (my fault, surely).
I am also asking because I don't know about how to "adjust your bootloader accordingly".
I need either links to procedures or the procedures themselves.
Thanks in advance for any further information.

There are many ways to do this, but you could look at "Option 3 Isohybrid" here:

http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:install_without_a_cd_or_dvd_drive?s[]=isohybrid

..either the dd or isohybrid commands

If you want something a little more involved, then these's this:

Thanks!!! It's a really nice document.

That needs a working tinycore! isohybrid is a tinicore specific package!

But it's a starting point... Better than nothing, though.
