<font size="-1">
|
|
<p>1st step) <b>USB storage device partitioning</b>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>insert the storage and identify its device name (e.g. /dev/sda)
|
|
<li>make sure that no partitions are mounted for the device
|
|
<li>run fdisk or cfdisk and create a partition that is at least 1GB large
|
|
<li>mark the partition as "bootable"
|
|
<li>identify the device corresponding to the partitiong (e.g. /dev/sda1)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p>2nd step) <b>Formatting the device</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<pre>mkfs.ext2 -b 2048 <partition device></pre>
|
|
The filesystem (ext2) and the given option are recommended to fit the system on a 1 GB device.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<p>3rd step) <b>Installing the cpio image</b>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
mount <partition device> <mount point>
|
|
cd <mount point>
|
|
gunzip -c < openmamba-flash-1GB-en-i586.cpio.gz | cpio -i
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p>4th step) <b>Installing extlinux bootloader</b>

|
<p>You need

|
<a href="http://www.openmamba.org/pub/openmamba/distromatic/index.html?tag=devel&pkg=syslinux">syslinux</a> installed on your computer, then use the following command
|
|
from the <mount point> directory:
|
|
<pre>extlinux --install boot</pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Unmount the storage and that's all about installation.
|
|
|
|
<p>5th step) <b>Running the system</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>Reboot your computer with the USB storage inserted in.

|
wheter it supports booting from USB (many bioses are buggy!).
