[CentOS] 答复: turn bootable USB into bootable iso image

[沈焕标]

I am sorry for my misunderstanding. And I thing you should try the command "dd" to create an ISO file. For example: dd if=/dev/sdX of=/xxx/xxx/xxx.iso... I hope you will make it..

Hi,

Not sure whether the following will work, but just a thought.

Create an .img file from the usb by doing a 'dd' from usb to .img file.
Then attach the .img file to the vm as a disk and then boot the vm from the
disk image to start regular kickstart installation.

Thanks & Regards,
Aravind
