Cant install from USB

Enneptt · 2016-07-09 17:27:02

I am trying to install Bunsenlabs Linux from a USB on a Sony Vaio VGN-UX 180p. On there site it says you can install it from a USB. but when i start the installer, (its uses the same installer that Kali Linux uses) It says its trying to mount the CD/DVD installer, but im not using a DVD installer, then it says that it cant find the DVD, im using a USB. it wont look for the live USB. I don't know how to install it from a USB. Any help would be great.

How did you write the iso to the usb? Did you use the method recommended for BunsenLabs? https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb

I used rufus and wrote it as a iso image. After i saw your post i tried writing it as a DD image and it worked.thanks!!

It's always helpful to read the instructions!

If it is solved, then please edit the title of your first post and add [SOLVED].

Yep! As I've found myself, we ( or should I say Ma' Deb) uses a hybrid iso. Utilties like Rudus and unetbootin don't really play well wit that because they may not take a bit by bit copy of the image.
