12. Create Bootable USBΒΆ
This is the official method of making a bootable usb stick for VectorLinux.
Insert an USB stick and type as root
fdisk -l
In the fdisk output, check what drive designation your USB stick is, we’ll use
/dev/sdb
as the example for this post.
Change directory to where the iso is located
cd /home/user
Now this next step will hose your system if you accidentally use the wrong path
so make sure that you use the correct drive designation from fdisk -l and
remember I’m using /dev/sdb
as an example, yours may or may not be
different!
Run this command from a terminal (mat take a couple of minutes)
dd if=name.of.iso of=/dev/sdb
Warning
Double check the path to your USB device, you can accidentally delete your data with this command.
And that’s it, now you have a bootable USB stick which you can install from.
