Install centos on an xp usb flash drive

You can install a USB flash drive for Linux in two steps: Install a USB flash drive and boot a Linux system.

I. Install the USB flash drive boot System

1. Prepare a 4g usb flash drive and format it as fat32.

1. Download syslinux at [url] http://www.cn.kernel.org/pub/linux/boot/syslinux#/url].

2. Download DSL at [url] http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/li#/url].

3. Extract the DSL to the USB flash drive and unzip syslinux to the computer.

4. CMD ---> execute syslinux.exe X on syslinux \ Win32 \ :( X is the USB drive letter)

5. Go to the USB flash drive and change the isolinux folder name to "syslinux", change isolinux. bin to "syslinux. bin", and change isolinux. cfg to "syslinux. cfg ".

6. Change the biso on the computer to USB flash drive, and the boot program is complete. OK (continue to build the system tomorrow ·····)

Ii. mount a mobile hard disk to DSL

1. Because there is only one 1 gb usb flash drive left, you can only copy the IOS system from a mobile hard disk to a 4g dsl system;

2. Because the DSL boot system cannot mount NTFS, you need to install ntfs-3g to DSL

3.download the ntfs-3g-1.2918.tgz.pdf and fuse-2.8.7.tar.gz files.

4. The installation will continue tomorrow, and hard-pressed programmers do not have time or money ····

Iii. Collapse
1. Because I did not find a 2g usb flash drive in time, I just found a RedHat Enterprise linux5.4 CD, and the installation was complete. In fact, they are similar.
2. ifconfig does not have eth0 after the g of macro base is installed with rel5.4, and lspci finds that it is not recognized by the NIC. Go to the Internet and find the corresponding driver. After installation, use rel5.4 now ···
3. The driver file will be uploaded to csdn tomorrow.

4. Start again

1. RedHat Enterprise 5.4 is charged. I feel very uncomfortable (I am a poor guy), first converted to centos6.0.

2. Find centos6.0 Lite version: http://www.oschina.net/news/19802/centos-6-wdlinux-iso-download on the Internet

3. After starting DSL, mount the wdlinux_base_32_6.iso file in the 1g u disk to MNT/sdb1.

4. Mount-o loop/mnt/sdb1/wdlinux_base_32_6.iso (ISO file path name)/mnt/centos_cd

5. Installation successful according to other methods
