A better way would be to use the diskboot.img It is designed to boot off a USB stick. There was a thread about this a while ago, with a pointer to a HOWTO page, but I could not find it. But if I remember correctly, you can put the DVD image on the same USB stick as a file, and point the installer to it.Hi, I have the FC8 (x86_64) installation iso - Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD.iso. I want to install FC8 on a machine without an optical drive. What I am thinking is: On first usb stick: (/dev/sdb1) dd if= diskboot.img of=/dev/sdb1 and boot from this USB stick On second usb stick: (/dev/sdc1) dd if=/Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdc1 And from the installation program which runs when booting from the first USB stick, I will choose : installation from disk and select /dev/sdc1. Now, this should work (I haven't try it yet). But my question is : can it be done in one shot? Namely, if I will run dd if=/Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdc1 and try to boot from this stick - will it work ? does isolinux support it ? and in case it does not - can anybody suggest how can it be done (if at all) in one shot?
