Hi everyone, I am writing to you if there is an application in Puppy that allows me to create disk images (not from Puppy but from any ISO) on a USB stick such as in Mint or Manjaro where in the Utility section I find the function (I don't want to advertise them). Or ask to suggest me a program to download from PPM that allows me to do this.
Creating a live USB of any operating system and the tree view on the left in the RoxManager are the only things I miss.
Thanks

Hello swhnk-puppy.

Give ISObooter here a shot then report back with your findings.

PS, I think I misunderstood your intentions on booting other Linux from Puppy. How to make a live USB of any operating system? The creators of the operating system determine if they want a live USB when the make/create the .ISO file. You just write that .iSO file to a USB flash drive. What is inside is determined by the creators/makers of that .ISO file.

Note: that the .ISO file is already built and created. You just have to write the sequence of bytes to the USB flash drive medium.

Open a Terminal Window. Use these sequence of commands to look around and determine what your USB Flash device is!

Code: Select all

df -h
blkid
fdisk -l

echo " Simple powerful UNIX command to write .ISO file to a USB Flash Drive"
dd if=my_other_OS_file.iso  of=/dev/sdX  bs=4M

Where 'X' is a,b,c, or d which device is your USB flash drive?
'if=' is the input file
'of=' is the output file
'bs=' is the block size
'count=' is the count of blocks to write. Not used in this example.

Be careful because the 'dd" command will write raw stream of bytes to that device [Overwriting the previous data there], which might be your HARD drive with your Favorite Operating System.

Is there a method of using Etcher Electron application on PuppyLinux or Windows or Mac or Linux

Please report back what works well for you.

I those case, I start SliTaz NET Start (each old burn Slitaz ISO contain the starter and you get from net the most actual one SliTaz version of your choice 32 or 64 bit offered as a live start!).

and only start

Code: Select all

tazpkg -gi unetbootin

and use it! It is all...
