Arch Linux USB drive installER...

Hey all, is there a method to get my 1 GB USB drive to act like an Arch Linux installer? I don't need to install Arch Linux on the USB, just getting it to act like a CD is good enough for me. This is because my computer does not have a CD drive.

hi solarwind.

if your bios supports booting from usb, you may have luck to write the iso to usb using something like

dd if=arch.iso of=/dev/yourusbdrive

please report back if it worked

You can also search for faunOS.

Nevermind. I found these:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _USB_stick

Now I have to try them out. I'll report back on how it goes!
