I will be installing Debian at locations which DO NOT have internet.
Instead of juggling a stack of DVDs, I want everything on a USB
stick.
I am using Debian 6.0.5 as test case - it's what I have available.
There was no problem copying the first DVD to the beginning of
the USB stick with dd.
I did a preliminary test by booting to the USB stick and the
install program apparently worked OK.
I rebooted to an operable system and created a large partition on
the remainder of the flash drive. I then attempted to copy DVDs
to the flash drive using first
cp -r -l /media/cdrom0 /media/mydrive/disk1
I aborted when started receiving error messages of failure with
link files.
I then tried
cp -r -l /media/cdrom0 /media/mydrive/disk1
I aborted that also reviving similar error messages.
How should I be doing this?
