you can dd the whole IMG to your stick, but its cleaner to collect such images and reference them in syslinux.cfg.
To setup your stick to bootZZ #syslinux -s /dev/sda (unmounted USB disk)
Thanks for the suggestion.
But would that be simpler than transferring netinstall.iso to a USB stick? (I've always found the syslinux documentation bizarre, with its frequent references to floppies.)
I tried following my own suggestion - transferring CentOS netinstall to a USB stick with liveusb-creator (on a Fedora-14 laptop). But to my surprise this failed with the error message ISO MD5 checksum verification failed
However, md5sum seemed to find the ISO OK: ========================================= [tim@blanche Documents]$ md5sum -c md5sum.txt.asc ... CentOS-5.5-x86_64-netinstall.iso: OK ========================================= sha1sum also finds it OK.
I tried downloading the ISO again, but the outcome was the same.
The ISO is very short - just 10MB. But it looks OK when I loop-mount it.
I wonder if anyone can cast light on this?
