TinyCore v15 on a usb
« on: January 29, 2025, 08:14:36 PM »
Hi all,

I have been trying to create a bootable USB of CorePlus-current so that later install into the HDD.

I have tried, with no luck with the following.

sudo dd if=/home/fischer/CorePlus-current.iso of=/dev/sda1 bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync

core2usb-16 in Windows, py script failed.

Used Ethcher & Unetbootin to create it.

Upgrade the bios, disable secureboot.

Test the media on another computer with the same result.

Both the the bios detects the USB, but it doesn't give me the option to select to boot.

Thanks for your time.
Troy

The dd command should say of=/dev/sda , the whole device, not a partition.

After that, during the BIOS self test screen, try hitting the function key to select the desired boot device.
