A business trip to the customer site to install the new IBM server, did not think the server did not configure the optical drive, the scene does not have a USB drive, the installation toss enough, so determined to make a U disk installation disk, after many installation groping. Successful implementation of OEL5.8,CENTOS5.8,OEL6.3U disk installation system. The recording process is as follows.
I. Zoning Preparation
1. Pre-Installation Preparation:
1). Kingston 16G U Disk
2. Windows version of the Syslinux.exe
3). Centos5.8 X64 System DVD edition ISO file
4). OEL5.8 X64 System DVD edition ISO file
5). OEL6.3 X64 System DVD edition ISO file
6. Linux system platform (or Linux virtual machine)
2. u disk installation to achieve the effect:
1). Automatic/manual u disk installation OEL 5.8 X64 bit version
2). Automatic/manual u disk installation centos5.x 64-bit version
3). manual u Disk installation Oel 6.3 X64 bit version
3. u disk installation naming rules
1 u disk plug on the server should be recognized as when SDB, on the Linux system prepared above partition, the 16G u disk divided into 4 partitions (/DEV/SDB1,/DEV/SDB2,/DEV/SDB3,/DEV/SDB4)
Description: USB u disk partition after the U disk inserted in the Windows 7 system without any problems, on the contrary, on the Windows partition, after the U disk opened will be prompted to repair problems, and open U disk slow.

Partition name partition size partition type
------------------------------------------
SDB1 1.7G Msdos
SDB2 4.2G ext2
SDB3 3.9G ext2
SDB4 4.6G ext2
3) Zoning Usage
SDB1: For guidance, Division 1.7GB can also store some information when u disk use.
SDB2: for placing OEL5.8 X64 ISO files
SDB3: for placing OEL6.3 X64 ISO files
SDB4: for placing CentOS5.8 X64 ISO files
Description: Because you want to sdb1 some space as U disk use, resulting in the basic space after the partition run out.
Second, start the partition
1. Insert a U disk into the computer
1 This article is the use of VMware Workstation way, the U disk inserted into the computer USB jack.
2 Click on VMware Workstation Menu "virtual machine", "Removable device", "Kingston u disk-> connect with host".

2. To partition
# FDISK/DEV/SDB
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 11114.
There is no wrong with then, but this is larger than 1024,
And could in certain setups cause problems with:
1 software that runs in boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from the other OSs (e.g., DOS fdisk, OS/2 fdisk)
The partitioning process is slightly
Executes n p to partition, after dividing W exit Fdisk.
