dd installs to USB sticks
- VERY DANGEROUS
- For Advanced Users
- You can destroy all the data and programs on your hard disk if you enter the wrong letter in (X) of=/dev/sd(X)
- Use "mount" command in terminal and look for the correct USB name ie /dev/sdb;/dev/sdc/;/dev/sdd etc
- Enter the root terminal with "su" (Fedora) or "sudo su" (Ubuntu) command
- Successful USB Boot Sticks built with dd command
- All did sucessful installs to an external USB Hard Disk
- Great for installs to Netbooks
- NOTE append bs=2M to end of command line for a faster write
- Equipment used:
- ACER ASPIRE ONE Intel N450 Atom Processor 1.66 Ghz 512KB cache
- Booted to gome3 if present
- EeePC1000HE only achieved gnome 2. fallback
