Make Open Suse Live CD
openSUSE remastering process requires a fairly long process to get it. Some distributions provide a relatively easy way and openSUSE "should" be too:-D. No problem with that KIWI KIWI remastering provides various options, such as to make LiveUSB openSUSE, LiveCD, QEMU image, VMWare image, and XEN Image but there are times when we need some adjustments that do not have to KIWI.
I am looking for a variety of topics and and how to make openSUSE Live USB and some are quite interesting to try. After trying and reviewing some tips, here is the easiest way to make openSUSE Live USB using Windows systems:-P.
Why should using Windows? Of course there is no necessity. Use the Windows system intended for Windows users who want to try openSUSE using LiveUSB without having to install and no need to fear there is a problem with the data and existing systems.
Here is a summary of the manufacturing process:
BENEFITS
1. This tutorial can be used both in Windows and on Linux. Only difference lies in the process of making a bootable Live USB (using syslinux)
2. Installation process does not require prior openSUSE as KIWI. Just download the ISO procedure requires the LiveCD and tools to extract the ISO (a free utility 7-zip can do)
3. Can use the FAT 32 file system so that the USB Flash Disk can be used to store files from Windows, Linux or Mac.
4. It's easy, just need a few short steps
5. Fast process, take a few minutes. Longest process is to copy an ISO image of 700 MB ;-)
PREPARATION
1. Prepare USB Flash Disk 1 GB minimum
2. Download the latest version of syslinux
3. Download the modifications initrd - initrdud name - from uploads Blog Weblog. These modifications include changes initrd boot from the CD to the USB and additional modules for the NLS character set FAT 32
4. Download openSUSE LiveCD ISO. As of this writing, I am using openSUSE 11.0 RC 1
MAKE bootable LiveUSB
1. Run Windows
2. Plug in USB Flash Disk
3. Extract the downloaded syslinux
4. Open a DOS Prompt (Command Prompt)
5. Move to extract the syslinux folder, go to the folder win32
6. Run the command syslinux-ma driver-letter-of-flash-disk, for example: syslinux-ma E: with E is a USB Flash Disk drivers. Note: The process of making a bootable disk is very fast so do not wait for long:-D
MANUFACTURING PROCESS LIVE USB
1. Plug in USB Flash Disk re already bootable
2. Create a temporary folder to extract the ISO LiveCD, such as folders liveiso
3. Extract the LiveCD ISO using 7-zip or winrar into a folder liveiso
4. Copy the entire contents of liveiso to USB Flash disk
5. Copy the entire contents of the folder boot/i386/loader to USB Flash disk (the root folde, not in the folder. That is, copy to drive E: instead of into a folder on drive E:)
6. Isolinux.cfg rename the existing files in root folder of USB flash disk into syslinux.cfg
7. Initrdud Copy the downloaded file to root folder of USB Flash Disk
8. Make small changes to the file initrdud syslinux.cfg to use, not initrd. Make changes to this line: append initrd = initrd ramdisk_size = 512,000 ramdisk_blocksize = 4096 splash = silent showopts to append initrd = initrdud kiwidebug = 1 ramdisk_size = 512,000 ramdisk_blocksize = 4096 splash = silent kiwidebug = showopts Option 1 will display any error messages:-D to terminal
TESTING
1. Boot the computer with the boot priority is the USB HDD. Most recent computers should already support this option. If using a laptop or computer that supports booting changes on the fly, change the selection by pressing the keyboard key F12, F8, F9, or another button with your computer configuration
2. When booting, press ENTER when there is the option to boot. Live-Typing System writing as required will cause an error message. We can modify this message but it is not too problematic if left so there :-)
