Title: Install SME from USB
Post by: Brave Dave on December 28, 2012, 12:53:39 PM

Someone might be able to correct a few misconceptions or write this procedure better

I am finding more and more computers don't have CD Drives and I want to use a USB drive for installation

I've been successful with this procedure:

• http://wiki.contribs.org/Install_From_USB

I guess that being successful mean's it's good enough for me, but it is a little clumsy in these respects

• The Grub loader is written automatically requiring the user to clean up
• The requirement for the iso file to be copied to the disk - even though the rpms are present on the stick

>>I am finding more and more computers don't have CD Drives
For less than £20 just get a (disposable?) USB CD drive...
