Installation from USB CD-ROM or HDD

  • You should be able to use unetbootin to use a USB HDD.
  • The method I prefer is to dd if=/iso/isoimage.iso of=/dev/usbhdd
  • USB CD-ROM should work as well if the image is burned. BIOS is fairly new age.
  • It is reccomended that a swap partition not be used, it will cook the drive.
  • Without a swap partition hibernate will not function.
