Hi, I would like to install CRUX on the machine without CD-ROM (and floppy), but with many USB ports. I found usb img file for CRUX 2.7, but not sure how can I use it. When I copy img onto whole USB (i.e. dd if=crux-2.7.img of=/dev/sdb) I get AFAIR "boot error". When I put it onto partition and use "gujin" [1] as a boot loader I cannot boot as well (different error which I don't remember). Is it something wrong with MBR? I use the same stick as Debian installer previously. How to fix or diagnose the issue? Any suggestion will be welcome. Any suggestion will be welcome.

I used USB stick to install Crux-2.7 without problems, once I used non-broken stick :). Maybe it is a problem with img file?You could make your own, if you have Crux-2.7.iso, using make_usbdisk script from http://crux.nu/~sepen/usbdisk/. Pedja --

You could also try "isohybrid" from opt/syslinux. I just tried it and it works great! http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Doc/isolinux#HYBRID_CD-ROM.2FHARD_D... -- /Fredrik Rinnestam

Try to reinstall syslinux with the '-s' option to install a "safe, slow and stupid" version of SYSLINUX bootloader. This version may work on some very buggy BIOSes on which SYSLINUX would otherwise fail. To do this just type: # syslinux -s /dev/sdb

If you have another machine in the same network you might want to boot via nfs instead. I use it frequently and it saves me lots of time when I have to install many machines Alan
