I do this with my computers for kickstart all of them from a central server: To build a bootable memory stick, perform the following steps: a. Format the USB stick as one big FAT partition: "mkdosfs /dev/sdb1" b. Copy everything from the CD:/RedHat/isolinux to the memory stick. You can omit isolinux.bin, boot.cat, and TRANS.TBL c. Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg d. Copy the initrd.img from CD:/RedHat/images/pxeboot to the memory stick. (At present I believe the two initrd.img's are the same) e. Modify syslinux.cfg to suit your needs. I specify mine to boot: linux ks=nfs:myserver:/somedir/ks.cfg f. Make the memory stick bootable: "syslinux /dev/sdb1". Remember to unmount the memory stick prior to performing this. g. Boot from stick Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Budi Febrianto Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 10:39 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: How to create usb boot disk? Hello redhat-list, I have many pc that need to be setup by at least RH 9. Because it so many, I want to use kickstart. Problem is the pc doesn't have cdrom or floppy drive, but it can boot from usb drive. So i want to create a bootable usb drive, so I can setup with kickstart. I tried google, and follow some instruction but failed. Anyone want to give me some clue?
