![]() ![]() ![]() One way is to add a PPA (Personal Package Archive) to the APT repository list. The mintstick package can easily be installed on all other Debian-based Linux installations, including all Ubuntu derivatives. It will automatically extend to use the rest of the disk. There is also a dedicated EFI partition (for UEFI boot support) and a 4MB small third partition which is a reiserfs formatted partition and serves as writable partition when using the booted stick. The first partition received the bootable flag.

Knoppix ISO successfully written to USB stick Note: If it doesn't show up, make sure you have the "mintstick" package installed. ![]() Another way is to use a right-click on an ISO file and select "Make bootable USB stick" from the context menu. If you're on a Linux Mint machine, simply enter "USB Image" in the menu and the "USB Image Writer" should show up in the list. ![]() However with the program mintstick, which is part of every recent Linux Mint release, I have (so far) only made great experiences! Create a bootable USB stick with mintstick There are a bunch of alternatives, such as unetbootin, but here too I experienced boot issues with the stick – depending on the source image. The chances are high that this USB stick will not boot (mostly due to a problem of internal naming of its own drive). The tech-savvy people comfortable using the command line would probably chose the dd (disk dump) command to copy the ISO to a USB stick: $ sudo dd if=~/Downloads/KNOPPIX_V9.1DVD-EN.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=4096īut Knoppix is an excellent example that this is not enough. Creating a bootable USB stick on Linux can sometimes be a pain, depending on the ISO image and how it is built. ![]()
