A new draft page has been created on how to set a USB key to install CentOS from ISO images. This would be most useful for netbooks or other systems without a CD/DVD drive. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey Comments, please. Phil

I'd like to ask for permission to edit HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey. There was a recent forum thread on using Windows tools to create an installation USB (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=44268&forum=55). I'd tried some suggested tools; see post no 20 in the thread. I'd like to edit the Wiki to reflect m...

There's a mistake in HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey , so I'd like to ask that someone fix it, or that I be given editing rights. The mistake is that in the section on CentOS 6, step 8, the correct command is "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (only). Also, although this isn't a mistake, I'd like to suggest mentioning in step 1 that the r...

Hello list, I found an error on the page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey, and I wanted to fix it, but appararently I need to follow this procedure. The error is you need 20mb on the USB VFAT partition in stead of 10mb for the latest CentOS 5.x releases. My wikiname is RonArts. Thanks, Ron

I'm currently testing a process very similar to that found here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey And would like to update that doc with my observations once confirmed. Preliminary notes (not all relevant to that specific WikiPage - suggestions for where to put the non-kickstart info? First boot partition on USB is FAT32 and uses GRUB to chainload to the second ext2 partition, which contai...

I found this http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey So for centos 7 if did the dd command seemed to work great. I did the install. So now I'd like to "modify" the USB key to add a boot menu option with my customer install options. I mounted /dev/sdb2 and edited the file /mnt/usb/EFI/BOOT/grub.conf added my menu item and rebooted to...

Hello: New to linux, and Centos. Can I plug thumb drive into computer, and download Centos directly to thumb drive, then move thumb drive to another desktop and use it like a "live CD" to install it on that computer? Thanks for any help. Tom

...anks. More or less the answer I was hoping for. My recollection had been that even when possible, booting from USB involved black magic.

How does one put centos on a laptop? My understanding that laptops no longer come with optical drives. Booting from an install disk would be difficult. >From https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops : Preparation tasks Repartition your harddisk Backup your Master Boot Record (MBR) Modifying your bootloader My understanding is that most laptops have at most one harddisk.

Hey List, I apologize for how broad this may be, but hopefully someone here can help me out. I need to make custom kickstart installers to be used in the field to install microservers (Intel NUCs, EFI boot) that don't have optical drives and may not have internet connections. I can make a custom ISO just fine using the pretty common steps, specifically following what's here:

...ginal question; > > how can i make usb stick bootable from linux? It depends on how you put content on the USB stick. Typically, I just ?dd? the installation DVD to the USB device, that way there?s no messing around. You can also follow the instructions here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey Of course, I have no idea how you?d do anything with an OS other than Windows. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
