1. with the help of Isomaster, extract all the content of the iso to the usb key then cd to the usb key /boot directory & execute install-on-USB.sh
Thank you, Akuna, for providing this info.

Guess you don't need to use Isomaster. Mounting the iso as [-o loop] and then copying everything with 'copy -ar /mnt/loop/*' to an usb-stick has the same results? Eg

Code: Select all

make /mnt/loop
mount -o loop mydir/salix_live.iso /mnt/loop
cp -ar /mnt/loop/* /mnt/sda1
Do you agree?

Sure, why not, except maybe for the small typo

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/loop

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
