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://www.pendrivelinux.com/
    • Universal USB Installer

Note: I'm using Windows 7 - Assume rest of World is too

Creating USB stick

• USB Disk In
• Run the Universal USB Installer
• Point to the ISO

ALSO:

• Copy the SME ISO you downloaded onto the USB disk
  • SME Installation requires this image, simply copy the iso image to the USB Drive

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 ...
