yup, It's awkward because of step 1 (preparing the usb-flash)
If you could use a Live-CD instead of this usb-flash, it would
reduce the effort to manually mount the "not found CD-Drive" to build your iso.
ver 4.0 making live usb ..... are these instructions correct ? ..... usb must be ext. 2 ? ......

AND whatever I do when I write the new iso it asks for the
'loop mount' .... somethings different here someways.

When installing to pendrives & sd(hc) cards, some install scripts use the mounted device as the target boot device, which causes this error on external media installations.
The 'trick' is to check before rebooting.
(However, you can just boot your live media again & alter them.)Edit: Grub should be hd0,0 & fstab should be /dev/sda1.

source stick in it was sdc1 and the target was
sdd1, but when I tried to boot the target
(since it was alone) became sdc1 ? That's sorta
bunk though, because on my other PC the first
stick is sdb1 .....Posted 10 years ago # -

offlineUnregisteredIf your target was sdd1 likely that is what is in your grub config, (& maybe /etc/fstab).
Usb ports are issued descriptors either by position on m/board or by which is used first, so what was sdb may become sdc.
To boot from a usb port the grub config has to be the first disk to be accessed, which is /dev/sda (grub hd0,0) in most instances.

Another way is to use a web install, but I can't remember off hand how that works.
It was something like: boot from live media, put in your pendrive, menu > <create live pendrive>, select web install, etc.

First thank's to a great distro.
I have troubles with writefs: When I try to use the written
rootfs everything works fine until unpack rootfs.
I get the following messages:
"kernel panic - not syncing: attemted to kill init!
pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 3.2.53-slitaz #4
Call Trace:"
Then 6 lines are written and the PC stops.The same applies when I try to write CD-iso via the menues.
The trouble only applies to RC 1 og 2 not to former editions.
