Notes for Installation on VirtualBox 4.0
- Use gparted on Live DVD to format the 8-10 GB VirtualBox HD
- /boot ext4 500 /7000 ext4 swap=balance
- Install to HD
- edit partitions to format as ext4 and as /boot; /; and swap
- Finish installation and reboot
- Note this same procedure works to install to a 8 GB USB disk
2 GB Live USB disk
- A Fast (ADVANCED) Method
- Great for Netbooks without a CD/DVD drive
- Boot Netbook from this non-persistent Live USB diskto test linuxmint-debian-201101-gnome
- Use it to Install to HD
- Great for Netbooks without a CD/DVD drive
- tested from DL; boots fine (satellit 01/04/2011)
Download: linuxmint-debian-201101-gnome-dvd-i386.img
- How to write to USB disk
- Download to desktop
- Use "mount command to see USB address: ie: /dev/sdb; /dev/sdc; /dev/sdd....etc
- Or use gparted to see USB address
- dd command is VERY DANGEROUS; if you use wrong address you will distroy your Hard Drive with no warning.
- In root terminal #:
cd Desktop dd if=linuxmint-debian-201101-gnome-dvd-i386.img of=/dev/sd(x)
How to Make a 2 GB Installer USB disk
- Use the 32 bit version to make a 32 bit USB disk and 64 bit to make 64 bit USB disk
