<div class="info">

<font size="-1">
|
|
<p>1st step) <b>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 parted or gparted to create a partition that is at least 2GB 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.ext4<partition device></pre>
|
|
The filesystem (ext4) is recommended for best performances.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<p>3rd step) <b>Installing the cpio image</b>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
mount <partition device> <mount point>
|
|
cd <mount point>
|
|
tar xf /your/download/dir/openmamba-rootfs-en-i586.tar.xz
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<p><i><font color=red>Note: boot loaded installation is a standard for <i>x86</i> architectures through the <i>BIOS</i>.
|
|
So the following sections are not applicable if you are using the <i>arm</i> version and in such case you need
|
|
to proceed (if possible) in a way that is specific to the boot tecnology available in the destination device.</i></font>
|
|
|
|
<p>4th step) <b>Installing extlinux bootloader (BIOS architectures only)</b>
|
|
<p>You need
|
|
<a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=devel&pkg=syslinux.i586">syslinux</a> installed on your computer, then use the following command
|
|
from the <mount point> directory:
|
|
<pre>extlinux --install boot</pre>
|
|
|
|
Unmount the storage and that's all about installation.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
<p>5th step) <b>Running the system (BIOS architectues only)</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>Reboot your computer with the USB storage inserted in.
|
|
<p>Your computer maybe configured or not for booting from a
|
|
USB Hard Drive/Storage device; check your bios configuration and
|
|
wheter it supports booting from USB (many bioses are buggy!).
