Packages onto CD

Totally new to Linux and Slitaz.  I have it booted up on my old IBM Thinkpad i1200 type 1161 (550Mhz, 128MB RAM, 30GB Hard Drive).  Works great. 

I saw that you can download an .iso image of all of the packages to install without an internet connection.  I'd like to try that.  I downloaded the image but it's too big to put on a CD.  My Thinkpad does not have a DVD drive.  It has two USB drives, though I can't boot from them.

What are my option for using the image?

Re: Packages onto CD

The image is an *.iso file?

Then do

  #mount -o loop <path-to-the-iso> /mnt/loop

Then cd the konsole to /mnt/loop

Mount your usb-drive (vfat-formated?) like

  #mount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk (names are assumend, may be sdb1 or so: find out with the command #dmesg as root how your system sees the usb-drive).

If you type ,,#ls /media" and there is no file ,,/media/disk" then just create one, as root.

Then copy the content of /mnt/loop to your usb-drive:

  #cp -a /mnt/loop/* /media/disk/

and wait till it is done.
