How Do I Create Bootable USB Installation For NetBook ?

JeZxLee · May 4, 2010, 5:43pm

Hi,

I am going mad!

I am trying to make a bootable USB installation
so I can try OpenSUSE 11.2 on my NetBook with no CD/DVD drive.

I’ve Google’d for hours and tried different things
but I can not make a bootable USB of OpenSUSE 11.2.

Please help me! Please!

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 now on my main desktop
and Ubuntu 10.04 now on the NetBook,
but have access to a Windows XP computer too…

Thanks!

Jesse

essentially this is the part to focus on:

dd if=/path/to/iso/openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX  bs=4M;sync

But you need to replace your info in the relevant parts!

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply!
I was missing the “;sync” at the end.
Now it works, thank you!

I’m a ubuntu user mainly, but heard on the Internet
that OpenSUSE is really good on NoteBooks/NetBooks
so thought I would give it a try!
