i fear mandrivasee.sh is not more maintained...

I ever used the dd command, pay attention

- the command is to be used from root user

- the iso must be placed in local hd, not usb:
I had many problems if isos are in usb hd

Code: Select all

dd if=/path_where_is_iso/iso_name.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=2M ; sync
path_ = write your path for isos
iso_ = the complete name of iso
sdx = is your sd card device name (ex. if sd card is sde, use /sde and never /sde1)



I have heard that unetbootin works very fine with mandriva and rosa isos
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

but, I never tried it
