syslinux at zytor.com: I have two older computers with Intel D865GBFLK motherboards (~2003) and Pentium 4 HT CPU's. They both have the latest available BIOS installed. I would like to put Debian on them. I have downloaded: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/debian-8.7.1-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso When I put debian-8.7.1-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso on a CD-R, it boots correctly.

Sigh. inst x, y gas use x and possibly y, operates according to inst and puts the result in y. Intel lives with the misconception this should mean use y and possibly x, operate according to inst and put the result in x. If you come from gas background the first

Everyone, I installed a sata drive on a SuperMicro with SCSI drives. No problem with the installation. Everything went as expected as the os recognized the drive and assigned /dev/sdc to the new 300 gig Seagate drive. I had planned to use this drive for backup tarballs. The drive had been functional for about a week with no problems. Apparently it went out today when I tried to reboot the

I've got an embedded x86 system built with Yocto, which boots from a USB flash drive. It uses a loop mount to give access to an ext3 root file system contained within a FAT16 file, which means it has persistent storage. What I want is something that boots from the flash drive, but copies everything into a large RAM disk, and runs from there, so that it doesn't touch the flash drive once

This is incredible, Mr Sandeen. You mean USB flash manufacturers (what's their body - the USB Implementer's Forum?) have

I all, I was thinking about installing centos on a usb flash drive. Perhaps a 4GIG. I dont need X or anything on this drive so installing should fit just fine. Are there boot issues with these flash drives? I'll be using a newer motherboard so the motherboard should be able to boot USB. Does this work? Have others done anything with flash drives? I am wanting this flash drive to be the

Is it possible to install CentOS on a USB Flash Drive. Have boot sector, / and /boot on USB drive then put /home, etc on a software raid array of the physical drives. Thought there used to be motherboards with SDHC slots that you could use to boot off.

>From the little I have heard about control systems for cars, which was some years ago, they were blockhead proprietary. The analogy would only work if computing was customarily blackbox technology, which it isn't. I'd be surprised if there were any branded flash drives that contained less than their advertised amount of storage. That leaves the question of what is going on under the

I successfully created an install media on a USB flash drive, but now I have a minor problem installing from it. Whenever I run the installer, it insists on installing grub on /dev/sdb (the flash drive) rather than /dev/sda (the hard drive where I'm installing everything). Is there a way to convince the installer to put grub in the right place? Should I just tell it not to install grub and

I've been using a USB flash drive for quite a while now, and in my previous system it worked great, but, I find with my new motherboard now that I have upgraded I can't boot it. So I decided to try the trick mentioned in the README.usbkey file where you make a ZIP drive like image on the flash drive and set the BIOS to boot a USB ZIP drive instead. Unfortunately, it still doesn't

How can I install a softphone on my USB flash drive like Xlite and have it ready to go when I plug it in at any Windows XP computer? (Same for a Linux softphone, both on one USB flash drive). bye Ronald Wiplinger

Hi all, Can anyone please point me to a link with instructions on how to install CentOS 5 onto a USB flash drive, preferably from Windows? I would like to create a full running CentOS installation (with minimal packages obviously) that runs off a USB flash drive, and I don't have a Linux machine to use for this installation right now. The best I could find is this one:

Hi, Does anyone know of a good guide to installing distros to usb flash drives ....? I read this one but its making much sense http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/node/86 Do I need to change drives in this manner for it to work ? Dave T.

I've noticed that once I right click on my flash drive icon and umount it, in order to remount it I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Is there a command that will accomplish the same task without the unplug and plug back in physics? Thanks. mhr

I recently acquired a Fujitsu Lifebook 1610. Unfortunately, the machine was missing a lot of the stuff that would've come with it brand new, mainly the usb cdrom drive. Currently, I'm running Fedora on it, and I installed it using a usb flash drive with the help of a program called unetbootin(Probably not spelled right). to load the ISO onto the USB drive. I've successfully used
