I want to install Fedora 13 on a computer which is currently running Debian (going to make it multiboot). I have downloaded boot.iso from Fedora 13 tree (http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso) and also Fedora-13-x86_64-netinst.iso (http://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-13-x86_64-netinst.iso) I burned boot.iso to my 256 MB USB stick using dd command: sudo dd if=Downloads/boot.iso of=/dev/sdd and got the image contents in /dev/sdd1. However, the computer does not detect that USB stick as bootable (my motherboard can and does boot from a USB stick) and booted from hard disk. I then tried copying the contents of the iso image to a newly formatted ext3 filesystem on the USB stick: - using fdisk, created a new ext3 partition in the USB. - sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdd1 - sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd1 /tmp/fedora - sudo mount -o loop boot.iso /tmp/img/ - sudo cp -a /tmp/img/* /tmp/fedora/ No luck, the computer still did not detect the USB as a bootable device and booted from the hard disk. In both the above cases, the boot flag for sdd1 or ON. I also copied the Fedora netinst.iso image to the USB stick and tried with that, no luck there either. What I am I doing wrong here?
