SuSE on a USB stick.

[FatRakoon]

I have over the years, been throwing SuSE onto my setup to give various flavours a shot, however, while I can grab any distro and simply slap it onto a FlashDrive, and install it, I have always had a bit of a headache with suse in one way or another?

Is there any reasons behind this?

I mean, I have tried various Flash Drives. I personally prefer Verbatim, however, I have many different ones, PNY, HP, TDK, Toshiba, Lexar ( ack! ), Corsair, SanDisk, Kingston, and a few others, and they all work just fine with any other distro, but not with SuSE.
I have also tried a number of different programs to plonk the ISO image on as well, and sure, I have various levels of sucess with them, I have also tried various formats but tyhje program usually takes care of that of course!

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Its not the image. as I said, its done this for years and only with SUSE.

Or, it may be the image, in that I seem to have better success with its the full on NON-LIVE install only version, and I get less success with a Live version, but still...

Erm... Help?

In honesty, i have never tried dd. Never thought to try it tbh!
I have my ISOs on the windows pc so Ive just used that each time.
I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

No... just the basic live image, not bothered with saving anything with these flash based live installs, however i have toyed with the idea, i just cannot be bothered in any serious sense.

Thanks for the syntax.

I have just never even considered using Linux to make one thats all.

My main PC is still windows, and I use Linux purely because its not microsoft... Yeah, Im one of those people! LOL
But then I do also use it because I can get it to look and feel like my Atari Falcon and I like old school. ( Eve nthough newer KDE distros that I have been trying out now seem to have taken on the Windows 10 theme for some reason or other! ).

Anyway, thanks.
