Hi, OK, I guess this would be unacceptable to ask in an Ubuntu mailing list and I was trying to get help with a Fedora iso but since F15 has been pushed back to be nice to mirrors because another distribution is releasing just before the original date, I thought I would try my luck. I am a loyal Fedora user but I have to install a Ubuntu live from an ISO. So, with Fedora, I know what to do. Download the live iso image and copy to usb using the following command: sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-LXDE.iso /dev/sdc and everything goes through fine, with a bootable iso image created in the process. But when I try the following: sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdc I get: Verifying image... The media check is complete, the result is: NA. No checksum information available, unable to verify media. Are you SURE you want to continue? Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort WARNING: THIS WILL DESTROY ANY DATA ON /dev/sdc!!! Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort Waiting for devices to settle... mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) Filesystem label=LIVE OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks 61440 inodes, 245504 blocks 12275 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=251658240 8 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 7680 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (4096 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 36 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso uses initrd.img w/o install.img Copying DVD image to USB stick Updating boot config file Installing boot loader /media/usbdev.g7vFg6/syslinux is device /dev/sdc1 USB stick set up as live image! Which is actually far less output and an useless (in terms of live or install) iso on the usb. It is however recognized as a iso, but nothing more useful than that. Any suggestions on how to do this with Fedora? I prefer commandline approaches.
