Thanx for the reply and your time , I entered

Code: Select all

dd if=//linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-32bit.iso of=/dev/sdb1

and got

Code: Select all

isolinux.bin corrupt or missing

when I booted the usb maybe someone else can help me if you are busy,

I left you four links.

Everything on the USB has to be removed before running that command.

Don't be one of those who try something once, fail and quit.

It worked no problem for me, it should work no problem for you.

It's simply a matter of getting the command correct.

I got it to work, thanx a bunch Semme for teaching me DD this will come in handy later.

the issue was that I typed

dd if=//linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-32bit.iso of=/dev/sdb1

instead of

dd if=//linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-32bit.iso of=/dev/sdb

That's it Leon, increase your focus and everything falls into place.

Hi, leon8200.

There is, of course, UNetbootin, which is almost universally used throughout the Linux world. bigpup did a thread on how to use it in Puppy, here:-

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=99826

It does work.....but take note of the part where bigpup says about needing to 'force' the issue with UNetbootin.

Note:
If Unetbootin is not finding your USB drive.

Sometimes you have to force the issue with Unetbootin.

Start Unetbootin from the console by using this command.

Code: Select all

unetbootin installtype=USB targetdrive=/dev/sdb1

You tell it the target USB drive you want it to use.

My USB flash drive is sdb1

Just make the targetdrive=/dev/ (whatever your USB drive is identified as)

Aside from that, it'll do the job you want, no sweat. You may find this useful in describing how to use it:-

Hope that helps. BTW, when you say there are things Mint will do that Puppy can't, to what, specifically, are you referring? Puppy can do everything the 'big boys' can, you know.....
