 Is there something missing in the USB install instructions?I followed the instructions at page http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manu ... _USB-stick
Quote: Mount the CD-ROM ISO image You first have to mount the ISO image (or a media where you have burned it). You just need an empty directory on your system on which the ISO image can be mounted. We will use /tmp/cdrom in this example but you can use any directory such as /mnt/cdrom: mkdir -p /tmp/cdrom mount -o loop,exec /path/to/systemrescuecd-x86-x.y.z.iso /tmp/cdrom Plug in the USB stick Just make sure the USB stick has been plugged in, and wait a few seconds to be sure the device has been detected by the system. Execute the installer Now you just have to execute the installation script which is at the root of the CD-ROM. This script requires several commands to run but it won't be a problem. To be sure the script will always work, these commands are part of the CD-ROM: cd /tmp/cdrom bash ./usb_inst.sh This script will show you a list of USB sticks detected on your system. Only removable medias are in the list. This way it's not possible to destroy a persistent device by accident. >>>>//Is there something missing here? There are no instructions about copying the iso file to the usb drive // Unmount the ISO image Now you can unmount the ISO image cd ~ umount /tmp/cdrom After this the instructions are to unmount the ISO image. There are no instructions as to how to copy the iso file on to USB drive. root@openick:/home/dirub# mount -o loop,exec /home/dirub/Downloads/systemRescue/systemrescuecd-x86-1.6.4.iso /tmp/cdrom root@openick:/home/dirub# cd /tmp/cdrom root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# bash ./usb_inst.sh Device [/dev/sdb] detected as [SanDisk Cruzer Blade ] is removable and size=3835MB * Device [/dev/sdb] is mounted: cannot use it All valid USB/Removable devices are currently mounted, unmount these devices first root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# ls /dev/sdb /dev/sdb root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# sudo fuser -km /dev/sda root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# umount /dev/sda umount: /dev/sda: not mounted root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# bash ./usb_inst.sh Device [/dev/sdb] detected as [SanDisk Cruzer Blade ] is removable and size=3835MB * Device [/dev/sdb] is mounted: cannot use it All valid USB/Removable devices are currently mounted, unmount these devices first root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# ls /mnt/usb ls: cannot access /mnt/usb: No such file or directory root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# umount /dev/sda umount: /dev/sda: not mounted root@openick:/tmp/cdrom# bash ./usb_inst.sh Device [/dev/sdb] detected as [SanDisk Cruzer Blade ] is removable and size=3835MB * Device [/dev/sdb] is mounted: cannot use it |

Re: Is there something missing in the USB install instructio its not /dev/sdb what is mounted. sdb is the device.
i think /dev/sdb1 (partition) is mounted. If you use a graphical systen try to "eject" or unmount via gui or use umount /dev/sdb1 Gernot |
