o Now head over to Linux Live USB creator, and install it as a Windows
application
Point this application at the smaller Boot ISO image (226MB one),
select your USB drive as the target, hit go, and now your USB key is
bootable
o This is the part which tripped me up and caused some grief: after creating your
boot key, copy the big raw ISO file (3.7GB) to the USB key also
After you configure the basics in the installer GUI, it needs this ISO to
actually do the install
If you don’t do this, you get an error like: Missing ISO image The
installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard
drive.
It seems possible that you could have this ISO on another USB
drive and point it to it, but I had no success with it
It appears that the installer will not recognize a dynamic mount
of a USB key in the middle of the process, so you can’t switch
out keys or add a 2nd one
I even tried to put two USB keys in, booting from the
small image and then pointing to the big ISO (on
/dev/sdc) when the installer got confused but it didn’t
work either
o At this point, you just put the USB key into your PC, ensure USB is in the
boot sequence at the bios level, and start the PC
o Early in the installer, the TUI (text user interface: a big red box) asks where
something is located. I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, nor do I remember
what it was looking for. But I have the answer in general:
My PC is simple: one hard drive, and the USB drive
Linux sees these as sda1, sda2, sda3 (my hard drive, with 3
partitions) and sdb1 (my usb drive)
What it needs to be told is sdb1 (your USB drive) and then it chugs
along happily
