Install From USB

	Skill level: Medium
	The instructions on this page require a basic knowledge of linux.

Requirements

• Bootable USB Disk - 2GB is sufficient
• SME Image - SME 8 - download it
• USB Disk Creation Software
  • http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Note: I'm using Windows 7 - this work on Win7, should work on XP and later

Creating USB stick

• USB Disk In
• Run the Software
• Point to the SME ISO file

Using

In your new Hardware ...

1. Boot from USB
2. Select Install from Hard Disk
3. Choose Partition
   • Mine was /dev/sdb1 when there was a partition - it was /dev/sda1 when no partition
   • It will want to know where your .iso image is, I just hit enter (because it was in the root of my usb)

Write Grub

• When it booted I had to write Grub (see: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/GrubInstallation)
  1. find /grub/stage1
  2. root (hd0,0)
  3. setup (hd0)
  4. reboot

Long Live SME ...
