How to make bootable flash with fedora 23 in?
Am using Fedora 22 and i want to make bootable usb flash! How to do it properly?
We can put boot.iso ( aka netinstall and or bootable-rescue) and live images on a usb pen drive, let suppose that pen is mounted on /dev/sdb.
First must be on vfat or else format usb with:
You may want to run lsblk
to find out what /devname was assigned to your flash drive.
Warning this clean all the data without asking, be sure the letter after /dev/sd is correct.
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx1
after and always as root do :
dnf install livecd-tools
/usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk boot.iso /dev/sdb1
After you may test if pen boots correctly:
qemu-system-i386 -hda /dev/sdb -boot c
in this operation you may need give permissions to normal user with :
chmod o+rw /dev/sdb* (as root)
A brand new application called MultiWriter has just hit the Fedora 21 an so on:
You can also do it by running in a terminal (after downloading iso image from getfedora.org, and still supposing your pen drive is mounted on /dev/sdb):
sudo dd if=/home/<user>/Path-to-downloaded-iso/nameoffedoraimage.iso of=/dev/sdb
This will delete everything on your pen drive and create a bootable usb of fedora.
This is very dangerous!/dev/sdb
may or may not be your flash/pen drive. Never run sudo dd ...
without being sure what you are doing! You can easily destroy data of an entire hard disk!
So, before you run dd
, use lsblk
to find out what your pen drive is labeled.
