! HOWTO install CRUX via USB Pendrive
Author: [[Profiles.JoseVBeneyto | Jose V Beneyto]]
----
!!! Requeriments:
* get the usbdisk scripts from [[http://crux.nu/~sepen/files/crux-usbdisk.tar.bz2|here]]
* get the CRUX iso from [[http://crux.nu/Main/Download|here]]
* usbdisk media >= 276MB and a BIOS with usb boot support properly configured
* syslinux, mtools and dosfstools installed in your system
!!! Generating the USB Pendrive:
1 - First, you need to build the image by executing the ''make_usbdisk'' script like this:
$ sudo ./make_usbdisk crux-2.5.iso
2 - Then create the installation media with the image you built:
$ sudo dd if=crux-2.5.usbdisk.img of=/dev/XXX
* where XXX is your usbdisk device
* you shouldn't use a normal partition with the stick, just use /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. instead of /dev/sda1, ...
!!! NOTES
If you experienced some problems with other scripts and they are related to
the fake cdrom environment, just you should change the crux_dir variable in
those scripts (''/cdrom/crux'' is the default). Or you can create a symlink to
the cdrom path doing something like:
$ ln -sf usbdisk /cdrom
