Hi, It is good to have several methods available. Before installing 'gparted', I again use the native command dd, ----------------------------------------------------------------- > dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb dd: writing to `/dev/sdb': No space left on device 15663105+0 records in 15663104+0 records out 8019509248 bytes (8.0 GB) copied, 2748.04 s, 2.9 MB/s -------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems OK up to this point. The 8G is there. However, partitioning with /sbin/fdisk and reformatting with mke2fs did not gave 8G. > mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 -L 8G-USB' The browser shows only 6.8 G free. I should probably format with FAT32 OR perhaps the file browser of genome on FC7 failed to show the actual amount of free space.
Back to my main subject, I tried "livecd-iso-to-disk" for creating a live-boot stick. It did not work on my FC7, a couple of packages are missing (checkisomd5 and udevadm). The messages are --------------------------------- [r...@localhost LiveOS]# ./livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 512 /home/me/Download/Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdb1 Verifying image... ./livecd-iso-to-disk: line 399: checkisomd5: command not found Are you SURE you want to continue? Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort ./livecd-iso-to-disk: line 50: udevadm: command not found basename: missing operand Try `basename --help' for more information. Partition isn't marked bootable! You can mark the partition as bootable with # /sbin/parted /dev// (parted) toggle N boot (parted) quit Cleaning up to exit... -------------------------------------- Then, I got back using the dd and it is now OK. ----------------------- dd if=Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso of=/dev/sdb1 1382400+0 records in 1382400+0 records out 707788800 bytes (708 MB) copied, 589.826 s, 1.2 MB/s ------------------------ Last step, just need to "chown" the mount point for the media to be writeable. root> chown username /media/disk/ Thanks, AA -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
