Using Lili from SD card

When I installed Crunchbang (& have done this on other distros/systems than my current) I used Lili USB Creator to make an SD card bootable. Pop in the card & install. So I've gone to install Bunsen & have a blank, formatted SSD in the device, & boot from my SD card which has the Bunsen ISO on it. I can boot to a live session just fine.

The graphical installer wants to mount a CD rom, which doesn't exist, & I can't progress past this point, because it doesn't offer me USB. What are my options?

Thanks.

Drop to a console screen with <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F2 and mount the SD card manually:

# mount /dev/mmcblk0 /media/cdrom

There is also an option to use other devices in the "Advanced" section of the installer (I think).

You are having this problem because you should have used dd(1) or cp(1) to transfer the ISO image to the card.

Re: Using Lili from SD card

I read the linked instructions. I don't have a current, running version of Linux from which to use CP commands.

I attempted to use diskimager but my device won't recognise the SD card at all afterwards. And I understand I can't use Lili now because it's the same kind of program as unetbootin.

Is there an alternate method? Thanks for responding.

Update:
I'd love to come in & say what I was doing wrong, but I have no idea. I just reformatted everything & started from step one.

Bunsen is installed & life is fantastic. Super fast & clean.

Thanks for the effort, team bunsen! Keep it up.

^ don't we have the same installation instructions thread as on crunchbang?
