I looked up how to install Vector Linux on a flash drive but need some help (my CD writer seems to have just started failing). I'm going by
http://forum.vectorlinux.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=bqoq3pte3m9k75ank3o9gvleh4&topic=5721.msg68396#msg68396. It seems an easy installation, so I got a utility to extract the image file. But I'm having problems and/or am missing something:
1. I got ZipGenius 6, and extracted the image file to my flash drive. It will not extract all of the files, and behaves strangely. It doesn't extract the root directory files-- I did myself, but then there's who knows which others that are going to take too long to figure it out. There's very little documentation, but it
is pretty straight-forward to use. I just tried another iso file and it also doesn't extract all of the files, most/the majority of them only.
What is wrong with this program?
2.
I presume it has to be installed in the root directory of the stick drive?3. The directory structure is different than when the post was written, but I found the script to execute (bootinst.sh).
If I could get all the files extracted,
how or with what OS/flavor do I execute this with, an existing Linux distro? I currently only have a Legacy OS live CD (Puppy Linux), and I have to replace my fried CD writer before am able to burn anything else-- I'll be lucky if it still reads/boots discs okay.
