Hello
I am trying to copy the Open Suse 13.1 image to a usb drive using unetbooten. When it is finished it doesn’t have the regular files on it, just some files called image0 and image1. If I open the image in an image mounting program, I can see the regular files and folders. The usb will not boot and just keeps trying to reboot. I am out of blank dvds so I haven’t tried it with a dvd. Any suggestions?
Don’t do that. Follow the guide on the download page. It suggests using Studio to copy. Any similar program that makes direct raw copies to the device should be fine.

After having successfully downloaded the ISO image(s), create a bootable
USB stick or burn the image(s) to a DVD (or a CD if the chosen image fits).

Warning Do not try to apply procedures found in internet for other
distributions to convert the images into bootable sticks (unetbootin).
Doing that will break the images. The openSUSE images are already
prepared for being used directly on usb sticks, no further steps are needed.

So… it clearly says there NOT to use unetbootin. Why do people insist
on using it, I wonder?

Hello
I went to the links above and the only problem is that the image program is in an rpm. Am running Mint. I have Fedora on another partition and will try that. Hopefully that will work as I want to give Open suse a try. Thanks for the replys and have a good day.
