[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 809080, member: 323322"] If you want to run it off a USB stick, then you also need (if using a Windows PC to do the download) to download "Universal USB Installer 1.9.0.7.exe" in order to render the ISO bootable. All quite straightforward once you've download both the Crunchbang ISO and the Universal USB Installer to disc. If you actually use the Ubuntu equipped device to download, then you can create a bootable USB in a Terminal: First: Mount your USB stick then: sudo ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*usb* will confirm the mount point (probably sdc) then: Unmount stick (by right-click ..... you need to leave the stick physically in place) Second: sudo dd if=/[I]pathtoiso[/I]/crunchbang-10-120207-i386.iso of=/dev/sd[B]X[/B] bs=4M;sync Obviously replace [I]pathtoiso[/I] with the [I]path to the iso[/I] eg on mine it was /home/gordon/downloads and replace[B] X [/B]with b, c or whatever was reported at step 1 (ignore the second line of the reprot which appends a "1" to the line). You now have a Bootable USB stick! As usual with Ubuntu it's dead easy when you get the syntax spot on! [/QUOTE]
