I created an article at the Wine Wiki. Is such an idea worthwhile? In my view, this makes sense in case you have no Linux installed on your HDD, but running Wine from Git is needed. http://wiki.winehq.org/RunningWinefromGitOffALiveUSB Feel free to remove my article if you found it unneeded.

I'm using LiveUSB-Creator to create a bootable USB drive from CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso, and it gives me an error at startup: vesamenu.c32: Not a COM32R image I can hit tab and select "linux" and then it loads vmlinux and the initrd, says "Ready", and then just hangs. I'm not sure wh...

...nconvenience that might need some improvement, i.e. to allow (forced?) use of "mount -F zfs" even for datasets with the mountpoint property defined. Here goes the detailed version: I was evacuating data from a corrupted rpool which I could only import read-only while booted from a LiveUSB. As I wrote previously, I could not use "zfs send" (bug now submitted to Illumos tracker), so I reverted to directly mounting datasets and copying data off them into another location (into a similar dataset hierarchy on my data pool), i.e.: # zpool import -R /POOL pool # zpool import -R...

No, unetbootin is pretty unreliable. I've actually not had it work reliably with Fedora ISOs since forever, but I mainly use (U)EFI systems is possibly why,...

...systems as you like. When the install prompts for bootloader installation location, you DO NOT want to install to the MBR (Chameleon is there); rather, install it to the /boot partition (on my test system this was /dev/sda3). Finish the installation. It won't yet be bootable. Now, boot your liveUSB stick. When you get your desktop, pull up a terminal and become root. At the root prompt, invoke gdisk just like you would fdisk, making sure to get the right disk device and partition. The command set for gdisk is virtually identical to fdisk. Use 'p' to list the partitions; you'll...

...ather wierd issue I experienced Saturday with CentOS 6.2 LiveDVD, x86_64. I'm posting this information in hope that someone may have seen something similar. I use a USB key with CentOS 6.2 LiveDVD loaded, with an encrypted home filesystem, built using the instructions on the CentOS wiki for a LiveUSB build, and it was built by a CentOS 6.2 x86_64 system with the livecd-iso-to-disk.sh tool. It has worked fine for general usage for a while, now.

And more to the point, once I have it, which of the four different install methods list on this page: http://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php would you like me to use? (Hummm... reading ahead, I guss that you want me to fetch the .zip file, and then use the clonezilla install method titled "MS Windows Method B: Manual".

Hello all, I have an oi_148a PC with a single root disk, and since recently it fails to boot - hangs after the copyright message whenever I use any of my GRUB menu options. Booting with an oi_148a LiveUSB I had around since installation, I ran some zdb traversals over the rpool and zpool import attempts. The imports fail by running the kernel out of RAM (as recently discussed in the list with Paul Kraus''s problems). However, in my current case, the rpool has just 11.2Gb allocated with 8.7G...

...let me know if that's not the case, I don't want to barge in and step on anyone's toes :). I'll make a pull request against the docs repo when I have something relatively publishable. I'll also try to make sure that the changes you made to the HTML book (e.g. removing Fedora LiveUSB Creator, warning about the upgrade tool not working, etc.) appear in the converted version as well. As for my background, I've spent the last roughly 5.5 years as a technical writer for Red Hat, most of the time I was working on the RHEL 6 and 7 Installation Guides, so I'm fairly famil...

Which System76 model? How is the install media created? Presumably it's a USB stick, but how is it being created? The easiest and most reliable is to use dd. Livecd-tools is also reliable but has a number of options required to boot UEFi systems. LiveUSB Creator should work. Everything else is prone to failure. CentOS 6.4 is kinda old for new hardware. You're better off looking at CentOS 7.1. Chris Murphy

Perhaps, some kernel tunables to set with MDB? Of course, I can cpio this data both ways with little loss in this case, but the problem for broken pool evacuation was unexpected. I should''ve at least reported it ;) Thanks...

Again, I have another program that will not run Live with Wine, but if I run it as root it does run. It seems as if this "Running Live" issue is being ignored, although Running Live is a common feature with many Linux distros and is one great security environment vs. Running off hard disk. Yet having to run as root to get apps going in Live environment is occurning with more apps as I

Hi all, I'm booting Centos6 from a usb 3.0 stick. This works fine as long as the usb-stick is connected to a usb 2.0 port. Once I plug the the usb-stick into a blue usb 3.0 port centos fails on mounting the root filesystem. Any hints on that? Regards .....Volker

I'm trying to install C6.5 on a USB stick (created using Fedora LiveUSB Creator). The problem is the machine using an Intel ITX board sets the USB stick as a HDD instead of a CDROM. During install, the DVD couldn't find the installer automatically and I must choose the HDD option for it to proceed to network/timezone/storage setup. After the storage partitioning,...
