Booting from flash drive or internet

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello, I recently bought a barebones computer kit and I need an operating system. Upon recommendation, I am considering openSUSE. Further I did not order a disc drive with my computer. This means that to boot openSUSE my only real option would be from a flash drive.

I have found an introduction on how to do it with ubuntu:

Create a Bootable Ubuntu USB Flash Drive the Easy Way - How-To Geek

I am interested to know if I can do a similar thing with openSUSE. Help is greatly appreciated on this matter.

Hi,

Welcome to openSUSE.

Here it is : SDB:Live USB stick - openSUSE

Thank you very much

This puzzled penguin is now far less puzzled :slight_smile:

It’s been a pleasure and fairly easy in fact. :wink:

Don’t hesitate if you have other questions.

I have a question about this; how do I make more than one live operating system in usb. I mean like;

when I choose boot from usb, ı will access grub with operating systems inside the usb, and I will chose one.

And I have also another question.

I have whole copy (un iso’ed) install cd on my hard drive (/dev/sda4) how do I add it to grub.

Edit: there is only openSuse install files in sda4

Hi yasar11732,

I suggest you start 2 new threads, for each of you’re question. You’ll get more attention and more help this way. :slight_smile:

Addin openSUSE iso extracted to hard drive to Grub

You can follow the threads form that links :slight_smile:

I have a further question, can I do this same procedure with the 4.7 GB DVD download or does it have to be a LiveCD GNOME/KDE

10

Nope. You can only do it with the liveCD. :\

I am assuming I could then use the flash boot to fully install openSUSE on my new, operating systemless PC? Or is this an incorrect assumption?

12

That is correct.
