[CentOS] F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso
Hi all, On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1 I downloaded CenOS6.x minimal .iso and with livecd-iso-to-disk the resulting USB is never bootable: the computer doesnt boot on it. Tested on many computers. The fact is I succeded to install CentOS on a Netbook (no CD/DVD tray), but I dont remember how I invoked livecd-iso-to-disk. I tried with many combinations (/dev/sdc is the USB pendrive): 1?) $ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force <ISO> /dev/sdc 2?) $ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force <ISO> /dev/sdc1 3?) - Format with VFAT on partiion #1 then $ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk <ISO> /dev/sdc1 4?) - Format with Ext on partiion #1 then $ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk <ISO> /dev/sdc1 ... N?) I dont remember what I tried, but it was many, mostly tried with CentOS 6.2 Please, if someone has a F18 + an USB drive: would you test and see if you succed? If you ever succed, how did you? -- RMA.

I don't know how livecd-iso-to-disk works in detail, but can you post the output of fdisk -l <usb stick device>? Maybe also an ls -l of the root directory.

The problem probably lies with the F18 application, not with the CentOS ISO image. -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****
