You can install from an iso file onto to a usb key using a kvm virtual machine, like this: kvm -hda /dev/sdc -boot d -cdrom file.iso where /dev/sdc is your usb key and file.iso is your iso (worked for me once with a netinstall iso). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
