Creating a bootable installation media

Creating a bootable DVD

You can create a bootable installation DVD by using a burning software and a DVD burner. The exact steps to produce a DVD from an ISO image file vary greatly, depending on the operating system and disc burning software installed. Consult your system’s burning software documentation for the exact steps to burn a DVD from an ISO image file.

Creating a bootable USB device on Linux

You can create a bootable USB device which you can then use to install Baruwa Enterprise Edition on other machines. This procedure overwrites the existing data on the USB drive without any warning. Back up any data or use an empty flash drive. A bootable USB drive cannot be used for storing data.

Procedure

Connect the USB flash drive to the system.

Obtain and record the device node and number by looking at the output of the dmesg command:

dmesg

Switch user to the root user if not already root.:
```
su -
```
If the inserted device was automatically mounted, unmount it.

Write the ISO image directly to the USB device:

dd if=/image_directory/BaruwaOS-9.8.iso of=/dev/device

Wait for the dd command to finish writing the image to the device. Run the sync command to synchronize cached writes to the device.
Logout of the root user and unplug the USB device.
The USB drive is now ready to use as a boot device.
