Title: Installing TC in USB without CD
Post by: shankhs on May 09, 2011, 01:20:42 PM

During my search for fastest boot time OS , I found about TC. After reading through the wiki and Intro, TC seems to be really cool. I tried to transfer the image to a USB stick and unsuccessfully tried to make it bootable. It seems that only way to install TC in a USB is to make a CD but my CD/DVD drive is broken. I tried to google for the solution but couldn't find any simple one (that I understood).

I am running ubuntu 11.04.Can you please help me to find a way to put TC to a USB and make it bootable ?

Thank you
shankhs

isohybrid tinycore-current.iso
dd if=tinycore.iso of=/dev/sdX

The shortest instructions ;) any of the install guides work on usb just as fine as on HD. There's no need to use the installer, everything can be accomplished manually as well.

edit: apt-get install syslinux if you don't have isohybrid.

you can also try multibootisos,
so you can boot different isos with only one usbstick.
