If using Linux, make the file executable (using either the command chmod +x.
#Dreamlinux 5 iso how to#
You don’t have to know how to replace linuxrc file inside initrd.gz, you can just overwrite the one on the ISO with the one I provided (and which only has the linuxrc file updated per the explanations above). Second, on the linuxrc file inside the initrd.gz archive, I added support for a bootusb parameter (ideea taken from DL 2.2) which, when passed as argument to the kernel, will first attempt to search the image on USB devices, and then fail back to CDROMs if the USB devices are not found. I have a SATA raid, another USB stick I keep for backup purposes and the DL USB Stick which will get resolved to /dev/sdd1 in fact.

Here they are, hopefully they will be integrated in the final release:Ī) USB Modules were not yet loaded even if this was 3 lines of code away 🙂 which makes me think that the programmers do have the intents of offering bootable USB images:ī) There was some bugs when enumerating the USB (other than CDROM in fact) devices:įor scsi_cdrom in /dev/sd /dev/scd /dev/sr do The issues were related to initrd.gz, but given the beta stage of the distro, I understand if there were some issues. That’s it, it will work now, if you boot from your USB. ISO file (I used D元.0-RC3.iso) onto the USB Stick.ĭ) Put syslinux.cfg, logo.jpg and vesamenu.c32 on the USB Stick’s filesystem root (on Windows that is directly on the X:\ directory, where X is the USB stick’s drive letter given by Windows after you inserted the stick).Į) Overwrite the X:\boot\initrd.gz file with the one above.į) Unpack syslinux distribution somewhere on your hard drive, go to the win32 directory and issue the command: You also need syslinux utility as well as an utility to unpack the. Warning: If you do not know that formating the stick will cause all data on the stick to be lost, then you should not continue this tutorial!ī) Grab syslinux.cfg, initrd.gz, logo.jpg and vesamenu.c32. Also, Stick should be able to hold at least 1Gb (I am using a Kingston DataTraveler II, 2Gb).
It seems that this tool is elusive, some time you find it on one page, then it’s gone. Sorry people, I guess this tutorial is outdated 10 mins after posting it online.Īs I saw many visits from Dreamlinux’s forums, I decided to investigate how to create a DreamLinux 3.0 beta bootable USB Pen Drive.Ī) You should format the stick (for Windows you might look up a tool named “HP USB Format Tool”). Update: Just now, after composing this page, I decided to check the DL forums and what do I see! DL 3.0 Final is out there and it does support USB! Hilarious for me 🙂 I’m between being a bit sad I spent this time hacking the RC3 Beta, but happy of the new advertised feature of actually mounting the USB in Read/Write mode (which mean keeping the data between reboots!).
