Mandriva LiveToFlash
Why will a 4 GB Flash drive not be sufficient?
Re: Mandriva LiveToFlash
It's sufficient 4Gb, but it's suggested at least 8Gb
(for more space for persistent partition and share data)

Re: Mandriva LiveToFlash
I see. The thing is, compared to the Mandriva Seed script, LiveToFlash seems inflexible.
Re: Mandriva LiveToFlash
Mandrivaseed is a simple procedure script, you can do the same with command "dd"
Instead od mandrivaseed you can use
Mandriva LiveToFlash -> is wrong, its right name is -> MIB LiveToFlash
MIB LiveToFlash, as in in its name, has been made for putting a Mandriva One Live or a compatible iso into a Flash stick, to obtain something similar to a commercial product called Mandriva Flash, but completely free!
Mandriva Flash is inside a 8 Giga Flash stick, give a look
A complete mobile 3D desktop on a 8GB USB key.
MIB LiveToFlash is the only existing free tool permitting you to prepare:
To view livetoflash source code:
The limits we put, are not for inflexibility, but for limits inside tecnical things:
so before speaking about, I suggest to you, it's even better to know more how the things work...
The program is GPL, so if you are able making some useful mods you can collaborate:
and you can made it more flexible...
You have to send us mods, so we can publish a new version, adding also your credits
bye, NicCo
Instead od mandrivaseed you can use
Code: Select all
dd if=/path/mandriva-one-xxx.iso of=/dev/sdx

MIB LiveToFlash is the only existing free tool permitting you to prepare:
- A live OS (Mandriva One) into ram (in a compressed squash loop file) with all the contents of ISO
- A persistent partition, (in another compressed squash loop file) for root and home, so you can save you prefs, add your repos, install a few preferite apps, and you'll find when you reboot
- A shared partition, for which you can choose filesystem between fat32, ntfs, ext3, ext4
To view livetoflash source code:
Code: Select all
cat /usr/bin/livetoflash
- syslinux can make a working boot only from a fat32 partition
- a compressed file into a fat32 can't be greater than 4Gb (precisely 4088Mb) for a fat32bit limit:
- so max persistent partition (not volatile) can't be absolutely greater than 4088Mbytes
- a compressed file into a fat32 can't be greater than 4Gb (precisely 4088Mb) for a fat32bit limit:
- ecc.
