linux usb

Slpixe

ages ago ive tryed getting linux onto my usb stick, i got far but like, i got stuck when trying to make the usb stick bootable, there was only 2 programs that was avalible to make it bootable, 1 requires a floppy disk, making it bootable, then getting the boot files off it, the 2nd said that it wont work for usb sticks 256mb or over, mines 256 Sad

, i just wonder'd if any1 else has had a go, and had any lucky? if so, mind helping me getting it working, i tryed it a few months ago, i got all the stuff backed up, but now i carnt remember much xD

Here you are some links which you might find useful. It depends also on the operating system you’re running because the ways described require some Linux tools.

hey hey, sorry to bump an old topic.

i have been trying to do it with a linux that it for usb, but i stoped after i tested it which required a boot cd to look for the usb, and then afterwards, after i read that it wasnt suppose to touch the hard drives of the pc, as it dosnt require them. i restarted, and had a few problems booting up. so i have given up on it since.

But yeah, your PC should support booting off USB which is true of all newer PC's.
