To create an installation boot disk on a Linux system, you will need a blank CD or USB drive, and an installation image of the operating system or application that you want to install.
Here is an example of how to create an installation boot disk on a Linux system:
You can usually download the installation image from the website of the operating system or application vendor.
To burn the installation image to a CD, you can use a CD burning application such as cdrecord
or wodim
. For example, to burn the installation image to a CD, you can use the following command:
$ cdrecord -v -eject -data /path/to/installation.iso
To burn the installation image to a USB drive, you can use a USB bootable utility such as dd
or unetbootin
. For example, to burn the installation image to a USB drive, you can use the following command:
$ dd if=/path/to/installation.iso of=/dev/sdb
This will create an installation boot disk that you can use to install the operating system or application.
Note that you will need to identify the device name of the CD or USB drive (e.g., /dev/sdb
) in order to use the dd
or cdrecord
commands. You can use the lsblk
command to list the block devices on your system, and look for the device name of the CD or USB drive.
These are just a few examples of how to create an installation boot disk on a Linux system. You can use the cdrecord --help
and dd --help
commands to see a complete list of options and usage examples.
