| Message-ID | <qLa0a-5S6-7@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Is there a way to place the contents of all the Debian installation ISO's on a single USB drive? For example, after creating the boot drive from the first ISO image, can the files from the second and third images be simply copied onto the USB drive, creating one complete three-disk installation set on a single medium?

You can do this most easily by using jigdo to get the single density Blu-Ray .iso - about 14GB - and use dd to write this directly to a USB stick. This gives you a 14GB .iso which includes all the Debian packages in one place that is directly bootable and will fit on a 16GB USB stick :) I did this at the release of Debian 8 to prove that it was feasible. This does assume that you have good 'net access to build the iso in the first place since tha packages will need to be downloaded from a network. All the very best, AndyC

Thanks, Andy. I downloaded the Windows Jigdo downloader and found a mirror in my state, but I keep getting the following when trying to download the Blu-ray image after several connect attempts: result too large >On Tue, Dec 29, 2015 at 04:18:15PM -0500, Steve Matzura wrote: >> Is there a way to place the contents of all the Debian installation >> ISO's on a single USB drive?

Um, if I had one, I would. Thats the whole purpose of this exercise--to get me a Linux machine, so I just thought I'd do it the easy way. Jigdo ran all night and I got nothing. In fact, it's still trying.

That fits _easily_ on a stick, even a small stick, and away you go. Just do the basic install and then pull the rest off the net. You don't need everything. I never use anything else. You can get it with or without proprietary network drivers: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/debian-installer/ (The official image (without drivers) is at the top of the page, the image with drivers is towards the bottom of the page in the yellow box.)

Does this installer have the Speakup screenreader built into it and startable in the same way as the full installation DVD distro does? If so, then I can do it this way; if not, then not, since I have no non-visually-impaired assistance for this project.

I don't know if the manner of starting it is the same as in the full installation. See my reply to your other thread. Lisi

Can the net install run with speech? I didn't think it could.

The only major difference between DVD-1 and the netinst ISO is the first gets packages from the DVD (if there is no mirror) whereas the second will get some of them from the net (a mirror is needed). I cannot see why using a netinst ISO is any better than DVD-1.

Frankly, neither can I, and I also can't see why the "install additional software" procedure in Step 14 would fail, but it did, and there we are. I'll try DVD 1 again now. At least I won't have to go through the disk partitioning business again. That part is all done.

On Wed 30 Dec 2015 at 12:49:25 -0500, Steve Matzura wrote As a matter of interest, how did you partition the disk? What partitioning scheme did you use? Also, you might have, I think, written the DVD-1 ISO image to a USB stick from within Windows. How did you do it? I went through the speech synthesis install using the visual prompts and, when it came to the task selection stage (install additional software), chose "8 9 11".

I chose the partition scheme offering separate /, /home, /var and /tmp partitions. I would have preferred to put /home on a different physical drive only because everything else will be living on an SSD and I would prefer to keep the writes to that disk at a minimum. I have an extra rotating disk of size 250GB I could easily use for /home, and I suppose I could eventually move /home to that drive, but for now, all of this is purely experimental and learning, so anything I do that's wrong or inefficient can easily be redone in a matter of minutes.

Sorry, I missed that question. I have not put it on a stick as yet, not even the (relatively) small DVD image. I tried using ISO2USB but couldn't get the thing to boot. I don't know if it was because my thumb drive wouldn't cooperate, or just what, but I definitely did make it work with ISO2USB and another 4GB image of a Windows installer that worked just peachy. The USB thumb drive idea was just something I thought I would try to make work because it's convenient to carry it around and use on various hardwares I encounter on a regular basis in my travels as the itinerant accessible computing guy. I can install Windows, and now at least two Linux distros accessibly, meaning "without third party assistance."

Well, true enough, but if it isn't, it's a viable alternative. In my line of work, alternatives rule.
