Google tells me the little 4 GB flash memory is available from
Amazon for $36.00 plus shipping. They are a good outfit. I might order
one but I still have a question I have not answered.
The memory is format in VFAT. This is not a problem since I have
used it to transfer Linux files. My question is how do I put a .iso file
on the memory so it can be used to upgrade.
I have by accident put a .iso file on a cd-rom and it is worthless.
All you see is the file name. Then I learn how to get the software to
put the .iso on the cd-rom properly and it works fine. Not sure what the
difference is....
The difference is that the ISO file is a container of a prepared
filesystem (e.g. what you'd normally see when you list the contents of a
CD-ROM). Not that far removed from an UNcompressed archive file (as tar
is a tape archive, which can *also* be compressed into a tar.gz).
If you don't mind an expensive experiment, you can try using dd to put
the ISO onto a flashdrive.
dd if=image.iso of=/dev/flashdrive
if means input file.
of means output file.
Change the filename to suite your ISO files real name.
Change the example flashdrive *device* name to what yours really is.
That's a device name like /dev/sde not a mount point like /media/flash.
And it's the whole device, not a partition on it (e.g something
like /dev/sde, not /dev/sde1).
