In the following commands, replace the xx's with what is appropriate for your USB stick. e.g. sdb1 or sdc1.
If you do not know them, find the correct device letters with fdisk -l or mount.
*** Warning: If you get the xx's wrong you may hose a hard disk. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Switch user to root
  • umount /dev/sdxx
  • mkfs.vfat -F32 -n AuroraOS /dev/sdxx
  • mkdir /mnt/cd /mnt/usb
  • mount /dev/sdxx /mnt/usb
  • mount .iso /mnt/cd -o loop
  • cp -Rfv /mnt/cd/* /mnt/usb
  • syslinux -i -d isolinux /dev/sdxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: In the next two commands, it must be a device sdb or sdc
*not* a partition sdb1 or sdc1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  • dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdx
  • parted /dev/sdx set 1 boot on
  • sync
  • umount /mnt/usb
