5. How to make the USB

• A full-featured bootable (Live) USB can be made from an ISO by using Live USB Maker tool. Users of other Linux distributions can download and run Live USB Maker appimage right from their current distro to create a full-featured Live USB from any standard ISO.

• Other graphical USB creators that write a Read-Only image of the ISO onto USB (e.g., openSUSE Imagewriter or Mint USB Image Writer) may also be used to create a Live USB, but it will lack the advanced live features available. If you want to create a USB on a Windows base, we suggest you use Rufus, which supports our bootloader.

• If the graphic USB creators fail, use one of the command line options below as Root. Let us assume your USB is identified as sdx (change as needed for your system), then copy and paste the appropriate line for your kernel:

  • 32 bit kernels: dd bs=4M if=gnoppix_i386.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync

  • 64 bit kernels: dd bs=4M if=M.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
