Can DVD ISO be put on 4GB USB stick as bootable?

I saw somewhere that the OpenSUSE DVD image is 4.24 GB, which is bigger than a 4GB USB drive I believe. Is this correct?

Hi
Yes, you need to use the net iso and use an external source (or local
drive)

(Feel like I’m stalking your posts lol!)

Hi
Well if it’s the eeePC you only need the winpe.iso and the recovery
image (2.5GB) so I tried it out (the link I gave in another post) and
it all works… So it will fit on a 4GB drive fine (which was the
SanDisk Cruzer)

Thanks I ended up finding an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer for $19 at radioshack. :slight_smile:

So, I need to uninstall opensuse first then I’m going to try one more reinstall before I give up.

Are my steps correct for this? How uninstall opensuse from dual boot? - openSUSE Forums

Hi
If your follow swerdna’s advice you should be on the right track :wink:

Now I do have one question, you still have windows on your system? Or
when you installed openSUSE you wiped all the partitions?
