[App_rpt-users] Install from USB

[Doug Crompton]

Here is a note on Debian installs from USB. I don't know if the Acid release is 
"isohybrid" though. I suppose if your system can boot from a USB stick it would work. There are probably others that have done it????
A.2.2. USB memory stick


It's also possible to install from removable USB storage devices. For
example a USB keychain can make a handy Debian install medium that you
can take with you anywhere.





The easiest way to prepare your USB memory stick is to download any
Debian CD or DVD image that will fit on it, and write the CD image directly
to the memory stick. Of course this will destroy anything already
on the memory stick. This works because Debian CD images are
"isohybrid" images that can boot both from CD and from USB drives.





There are other, more flexible ways to set up a memory stick to use the
debian-installer, and it's possible to get it to work with smaller memory
sticks. For details, see Section 4.3, “Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting”.





Some BIOSes can boot USB storage directly, and some cannot. You may need to
configure your BIOS to boot from a “removable drive” or even a
“USB-ZIP” to get it to boot from the USB device. For helpful
hints and details, see Section 5.1.5, “Booting from USB Memory Stick”.
