Creating a Live USB

I have tried this on a 1GB transcend USB device and dont guarantee the same document will work on any other USB/MP3 devices.

step 1: Format the usb as ext3 and give type as bootable

step 2: Open terminal

mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1

tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sdb1

step 3: mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk

cp -r /media/BOSS-live2.0/* /media/disk

sync

umount /media/BOSS-live2.0

step 4: mkdir -p /media/disk/boot/grub

cp -r /boot/grub/* /media/disk/boot/grub

step 5: echo '(hd0) /dev/sdb' > /media/disk/boot/grub/device.map

step 6: grub-install –root-directory=/media/disk –no-floppy '(hd0)'

step 7: Copy isolinux.xfg from isolinux folder and copy its contents in menu.list of /boot/grub

default 0

timeout 2

step 8: umount /media/disk

And boot through the liveusb
