Salix Live on USB [SOLVED]
Posted: 8. May 2010, 14:39
Hello,
I apologize for my English, french people is behind the keyboard...
Today I download the last ISO for SalixLive and put it on an USB pen drive (Patriot XPorter XT Boost 8go) with the "install-on-USB" tool provided. For this I use Slackware 13.0 with the extra grub package. I do this in 4 steps :
- format the key with mkdosfs command (mkdosfs -F 32 -n "SALIXLIVE" /dev/sdb1)
- run for a first time install-from-USB from the "loop mount" of the downloaded ISO file)
- unplug the pen drive, plug and mount (for the post MBR gap)
- re-run install-from-USB
I plug the pen drive on a Acer Aspire 1700 laptop, boot on the key and the boot stop on the "grub prompt". After some search, it's the first time I use grub, it seems that a config file is missing (like menu.lst ?). Where can I found some useful informations for complete the
installation and run "SalixLive" from an USB pen drive ?
Some other useful information : with the same pen drive no problems for booting Slax 6.1.2 installed on fat file system with syslinux on the same laptop. I'll try to put Xubuntu on the same pen drive, during the boot grub is ok but Xubuntu don't start (only busybox shell).
Anything I can do?
Thank you for any hint,
Crabs
