for 4 days ive tried to make this work using this tutorial but i cant..

here are my questions:
1) how would you know the syslinux -ma g:(in my case) is successful and the usb may boot now?
2) what OS are you using really during the processing of the image part? i dont remember windows got ‘mount’ command

ive tried a couple of combination but im not successful.

this is the straightest tutorial as i scour the net but i hope you can elaborate.

further, it would greatly help for a total noob like me if you care to specify where are you (example: pc in windows c: prompt, in pc terminal or inside the usb already) when issuing commands.

thanks.

there is no CD-ROM in my desktop, I did on your way, the usb-fdd is bootable, however, it fails to install and the error information is shown below:

Fail to mount RW root filesystem
rebootException: error consloles at Alt-F3/F4
rebootException: reboot in 120 sec

thanks

mount is not in your PATH, so either you are not root (try sudo mount …) or you have the wrong path (try su -l to become root)

hi, thanks for the tutorial but i am having trouble as to mounting the USB with the command "mount -o loop openSUSE-11.0-KDE4-LiveCD-i386.iso liveiso/" i am running winXP and cd to f: (my flashdrive) then executed that command, but it gave me the following error message:


"'mount' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.".

is there additional program needs to be installed? I am trying to create a bootable USB for the openSUSE 11.0 KDE4. Thanks for the great help.

Hi, thank for this job, it’s really great.

Hi , for this problem,
I redo the syslinux stage on windows.
After that, I get a file I didn’t have before (with syslinux on linux).
Then I redo all other stage,
Now that’s work.

Cheers,
