m.roth spake thusly:
I started by listing that:
- I have a partitioned USB stick, 8G, with a 10M FAT32 partition, and the
rest as ext3. 2. Rsync'd isolinux to the FAT partition, renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg 3. syslinux to the USB 4. mounted DVD.iso, and rsync'd all of that to the ext3 partition. 5. mounted the second DVD, and rsync'd Packages/* to the Packages directory already there, and so have a 1 DVD, effectively, on the USB.
But the question is what image# 1 that it's looking for? It's not trying to look on the USB for an .iso, is it?

I did not see that synopsis in your original post (and I'm not sure I could figure out what commands you used by that). The only 2 replies to this thread I saw in digest 84 issue 9 were to John Doe.
Anyway, this is what I have in my notes, though I see you've marked this as solved...
mostly assuming sdb as the USB device.
From blank USB stick to bootable install:
yum install livecd-tools syslinux dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1000 parted /dev/sdb mklabel msdos parted /dev/sdb mkpartfs p ext2 0% 100% tune2fs -m0 /dev/sdb1
parted /dev/sdb toggle 1 boot umount /dev/sdb1 livecd-iso-to-disk <path to>/DVD.iso /dev/sdb1
mkdir /mnt/iso mount -o loop <path to>/DVD.iso /mnt/iso mkdir /media/<usb stick>/images cp /mnt/iso/images/install.img /media/<usb stick>/images/ cp <path to>/DVD.iso /media/<usb stick>/
TEST: qemu -m 512 /dev/sdb
I guess I should add yum install qemu to my notes, as I don't think that's installed by default.
But using livecd-iso-to-disk makes it NOT ask for the image file location during the install. Try it. :-)
Personally, I think they should've named it bootable-iso-tools, but everyone's probably used to the livecd-tools name by now.
