[SOLVED] Boot Bodhi 1.2.0 Live CD without auto mounting hd partitions

location: linuxquestions.com - date: September 11, 2011
Booting Bodhi Linux 1.2.0 as a Live CD. Does anyone know if there is a boot parameter that can be used to not have the hard drive partitions automatically mounted when booting the Live CD? Right now I am using the following command to unmount the partitions after I boot up: sudo umount -a -v -t ext3 But I would prefer to not have them mounted.

Distorted screen using nomodeset on live usb with Intel HD 4000

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: November 16, 2013
Trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 on a Lenovo Yoga 11S (NOTE: NOT Yoga 11) I've formatted my USB stick with UEFI support with GPT When launching the live session without nomodeset in the kernel parameters, it just flashed to a black screen. With nomodeset I get the following screen issue, then a black screen on tty7 when i would expect X (Mir?) to take over. I can switch to tty1 at this point but it is distorted in the same way that plymouth is in the screenshot attached. Has anyone encountered this or have a workaround? 2013-11-15 22.13.53.jpg

Booting live Slacko Puppy 5.3.3 and BackTrack5 isos stored on a hd using grub2

location: linuxquestions.com - date: October 4, 2012
Last year I put together a multiboot usb flash drive with many different OSes with help from www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB, pendrivelinux.com and other websites. Recently a friend of mine bought a 1 terabyte portable harddrive; he asked me to help him turn his hd into a "swiss knife", containing utilities and OSes to trouble-shoot/repair computer problems. With a lot of research and trial and error -- and information I gleaned at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot I was able to get most OSes and utilites to boot (AVG Rescue CD, System Rescue CD 2.8.1, Partition Magic, Seagate Seatools, Super Grub2 disk, Ultimate Boot CD, etc). However, when it came to BackTrack 5 r3 and Slacko Puppy 5.3.3 I just could not figure out how to write a grub2 menuentry that would work. I had read about memdisk (from syslinux) and Debian and Debian deritives' grub-imageboot (available from Wheezy repositories and maybe from Squeeze back-ports and from Ubuntu 11.04+) and was able to boot

KANOTIX Live vs HD ADSL Problems

location: linuxquestions.com - date: August 25, 2005
Hi all, Having tried Knoppix Live & subsequent HD install, I moved onto KANOTIX because of it's alleged improved support for USB devices. I tried the latest live KANOTIX cd & it all works fine, however having nstalled it to my hard drive using kanotix-installer all appears fine except I can't connect to the internet via my Alcatel router! I tried the configurator tool (sorry can't remember exact name & now as in work) which finds en0 & ra0 but then says can't find anything else, however I think I'm looking in wrong place as I get the same results when using the Live version & am also able to connect to the net. If anyone could suggest a config file I may need to edit or a startup option it would be most appreciated. FWIW When the HD version is booting the green light will be on next to the network cable on the router but as it goes through the boot sequence (possibly examining hardware) it goes off never to return! My system spec is: Kanotix 2005-03 (bo

How do I image an OS Hard drive with a Knoppix Live CD and dump that image to new HD

location: linuxquestions.com - date: December 12, 2013
I'm a complete newb to Linux though I have some basic experience with Solaris. I have an OS image on an external drive that was made (by someone else)with one of the utilities in Knoppix Live. First, I'm not sure how to look at or identify this image so that I am sure that I am dumping the correct image from the source drive to the correct destination drive. I'm not sure what utility to use, like dd or partimage. Second, I need to know how to dump this image onto another drive. If someone could tell me where I can read about how to use dd and partimage on the Knoppix Live CD, that may be all I need. Also, I have been doing some reading and I'm not sure dd is the correct utility to use since it can affect the usable size of the drive. Maybe a partimage tutorial or step by step would be helpful. Thanks

[SOLVED] How to mount a 1TB USB external HD on Knoppix (live CD)??

location: linuxquestions.com - date: December 22, 2010
Hi This is my story. A friend of mine had a (horrible) accident with her laptop, to the point she will buy a new one. But she would like to recover as many information as possible. So I get my knoppix live CD (wich has saved me before). This is my problem. My friend borrowed a 1TB USB external HD, and knoppix doesn't mount it. I've tried fdisk -l and I get Code:

How I finally get Live CD on macbook pro hd to boot.

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: May 16, 2008
The reasons for this articles are: 1) To facilitate multiple re installation. 2) Hoping some one will build on this concept and make Linux on mac fly ie come up with script for "persistentce" mode etc etc.!! The theories behind this article are from multiple sources. I thank those even though I did not directly credit them. It will be self evident to those contributors when they read this. Thank you all of you that make Linux great and keep a noob like me hanging on. Let's get started with what you will need and the steps involved. A) Usb flash drive formatted MBR/ Fat 16 with Disk utility in OSX (usb1) B) Get isotostick.sh from this site HTML Code: http://www.startx.ro/sugar/ C) copy the 'heron' and the .sh to the usb flash (usb1) D) we will need to install Linux on to mac first. JUST A BOOT SECTOR. This is what I did: 1) Plug in to mac another HD or usb. NOT usb1 2) Fire up the CD as you will for Live use session. 3) Use reg

custom live cd VS. hd install

location: linuxquestions.com - date: August 24, 2005
I recently started reviewing live-cd options, primarily a custom gentoo live cd, or in my case live dvd. This was prompted because of a hard drive death taking out my install. I was considering using a live-cd while I await a new hard drive. But I began thinking... Why use a hard drive at all? I only used it for the OS, all my important files are stored on my server. I am aware of some security benefits of a livedvd, for instance a hacker could not modify the OS filesystem should they get it, the most they might be able to do is restart or shutdown the system, no biggie. As well hard drive failures are not a problem. And DVD drives basic ones, are less than the top of the line hard drives (thought he same cost as the one that died). I am also aware of some downside: updates require new discs to be burned, this is a continuing cost as apposed tot he hd's one time cost. But I have the following questions: What is the speed difference in access times and transfer rates in sat

Cannot access HD from Ubuntu Live CD

location: linuxquestions.com - date: May 17, 2011
I appreciate the help on this in advance. Our family laptop (read lots of important pictures) is blue screening on boot. It gets part way through the windows boot (why I think it's still alive) and throws an error about unable to mount boot partition or something like that. I booted into Ubuntu live and cannot see the hard drive when I look in Nautilus. I do see the hard drive when I look in the disk utility. When I do sudo fdisk -l in terminal nothing comes up it just goes back to [email protected]:~$. I feel like my hard drive is still alive, I just can't get to it via Ubuntu live. Any suggestions?
