, 12:00, 1 December 2011how to create an USB stick with SME server software
==Problem ==
Imagine you have a server that wont boot from USB CDROM drive or have no internal CDROM drive.
Or even you prefer to install from a USB stick instead a physical media.
==Solution ==
Create a USB stick with SME software on it
== Requirements ==
You'll need a stick with more than XXX
Format it as XXXX
mount SME server image on a linux machine:
mount /path/to/image/SME8b7.iso /mnt/pendrive
== Creating USB stick ==
copy the file /images/boot.iso, and renamed to SMEboot.iso.
On USB edit the menu.lst to include this
[code]
title find and load SMEboot.iso
fallback 7
find --set-root /SMEboot.iso
map /ubcd.iso (0xff) || map --mem /SMEboot.iso (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)
savedefault --wait=2
[code]
