How to install VL Light from an USB stick?

[Lyn]

Yes followed the instructions there, it places the contents of the iso on the USB stick...

[Daniel]

...and you installed p7zip as shown in the tutorial?

Actually, the script is called bootinst.sh
You it like this

Code:

./bootinst /dev/sda1

replace /dev/sda1 with the partition where your files are on the usb stick.

Well I did

Code:

./bootinst.sh /dev/sda1

That  worked better
Actually I think I had to do sudo but that's a Pardus thing I suppose.
The Gui of standard didn't give a nice screen (couldn't read a thing, so continu with the old fashioned way)
Some other trouble with the partitions (not a vl problem). I'll be back.

There I am, typing from standard on the netbook. X didn't start directly had to set it up another time via VASM in TUI. Sound isn't working. I'm looking for that in the thread from kidd and his adventures in nebook land.

Yes I did

Yes I did, and tried with other distros - easy peasy just looped back to the start... have tried this a few times.  The usb drive is 1gb, maybe that is the problem... the host drive on the netbook is 8GB

@ Lyn:

I know I'm quite late, but I had the same issue to make a bootable usb stick off unetbootin....

I simply changed the isolinux/initrd.img to isolinux/init.gz, and voilà !

Since I'm installing VL on a eeePc 701, then I have issues with the screen size / video mode, but besides that all seems fine !
