Re: universal boot USB stick?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I don't know the use you have in mind; however, when I did service I just made a live USB, shrunk and created a data partition JIC I needed storage.  Set the bios priority to USB when needed, etc etc.  Granted, this was a basic OS but usually had the tools I needed and did repo install as needed.

Using other distro for job specific ofc helped, such as SystemRescueCD, for more aggressive rescue ops...

It never gets that far. I need the "early" config
I'm supposed to be able to embed in the grub
image, but grub2-install has been "improved"
so it never invokes an external grub-mkimage
tool the docs say I should be able to pass
with the --grub-mkimage option :-(

At least I think that's what I need :-)


For sure is unnecessary. And you won't be able to Secure Boot because the bootloader won't be signed.

livecd-tools still has livecd-iso-to-disk script that can create a USB stick that's UEFI and BIOS bootable.

https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/blob/master/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh

The optional persistent overlay will eventually blow up and will have to be reset. Avoiding that means doing a real install to the USB stick.
