ISO TO ZIP-DRIVE


Imagine you can boot from your zip-drive and you want to put a distro on the zip, but distro´s come ¨packed¨ as ISO, so how do you extract an ISO ?
Simple:

Create a directory in /mnt called loop: ( as root )

Then:

This will extract/show all the files of the ISO in /mnt/loop . . all you have to do is copy them to your zip drive and boot from it . . .

You can put a small distro like D Small Linux on your USB Memory Stick too, but booting from it is a bit more complicated . . . if you really want to give it a go Here and have a look . . . .
