UNetbootin to create F17 LiveUSB without a CD

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I have made many Live USB Fedora (F11-F15) bootable pendrive OSs but have always ultimately had to burn the Live iso to a CD first - I for sure will do that again - if necessary, but now, I have been trying and really would like to get a bootable (1GB) Fedora 17 KDE stick without first burning the iso to a CD I have the F17 KDE Live iso downloaded and have made the UNetbootin executable just fine : http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ using the command chmod +x . . . but I am still getting a boot error with the new USB although UNetbootin completes and finishes seemingly ok. Anyone h (HowTos)

Add unetbootin to repository 3 years 44 weeks ago

hello, i think it would do Fedora users a great service to yum install unetbootin. unetbootin is a great program that allows you to make a live usb for almost ANY linux operating system, i have also heard you can use it to make live usb images of windows xp and mac osx.

Fedora17 Unetbootin Live USB 35 weeks 18 hours ago

Just got GW2 and a new video card. As you may know... GW2 doesn't support Fedora 17, so I installed windows 7 ultimate to a bootable usb drive... sadly there's more to it than this.

I'm trying to install unetbootin for fedora17... cannot find the download file. I mean... why is it so difficult to put the packages on the website in an easy to find place? Let me know if you find it here...

There’s an article about how to install ubuntu from usb without burning a CD in my blog,where I used Unetbootin which allow both Windows and Linux user to create bootable Live USB.This tutorial shows another USB creator with m

UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.

I downloaded the Linux executable for Unetbootin 494, and now I'm trying to run it. As root, I made it executable and attempted to execute it:

chmod +x unetbootin-linux-494 ./unetbootin-linux-494

Nothing happens and no output is displayed. ps -e | grep unetbootin shows nothing either. The file's size looks right (4.3 MB), although I don't see a checksum on sourceforge with which to verify it.

Unetbootin can't see usb drive 36 weeks 3 days ago

I am trying to make a usb backtrack but run into problems cause when I start unetbootin I can not see the USB drive.

I have made sure the drive was mounted. I also tried unmounted. I did a reformat of the usb stick, fat32. Did not help either.

From within puppy linux I can see the usb drive and I see that the drive is empty.

Fedora 18 - USB creation mess 17 weeks 3 days ago

Hi,

since yesterday I'm trying to create a proper USB boot media... (x64, BIOS with "UEFI supported" if I believe dmidecode, no secure boot).

I tried to use the Live Image, the DVD image and the "mnimal boot media". I tried to create it with Unetbootin, with liveusb-creator, livecd-tools and dd.

To install ArchBang, you can burn the iso file into a CD then use it to do the job. However, using the CD may at times be a little slow and  the CD can be scratched thus unusable over time.
