I want to be able to make a USBbootStik for my laptop, as I repeatedly
did for the now stolen PC.
I've got a copy of the required 2009, Slackware13 partition, saved to a
USBdisk. And I've located the 175-line: <make bootStik script> .
Of course just "chroot"ing Slak13, won't allow <make bootStik>.
But why can't someone here, provide the info to make an equivalent
bootStick from StikBooted TinyCore64 which already
uses: /boot/isolinux isolinux.bin isolinux.cfg ..etc.
Even better would be if the TC64 stikBooter could be extended to boot
the Slak13 partition of the USB installed/chroot-able Slak13.
Some of the key-lines of the SlakScript are:--------------------
chroot $T_PX /sbin/mkdosfs -I -n USBSLACK -F 12 /dev/$STICK
$DOSSIZE 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
fi
if [ ! -d $TMP/bootdisk ]; then
mkdir $TMP/bootdisk
fi
mount -t vfat /dev/$STICK $TMP/bootdisk 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
if [ -r $T_PX/vmlinuz ]; then
cp $T_PX/vmlinuz $TMP/bootdisk/vmlinuz
elif [ -r $T_PX/boot/vmlinuz ]; then
cp $T_PX/boot/vmlinuz $TMP/bootdisk/vmlinuz
fi
# We don't need the isolinux bootloader with syslinux do we?
#cp $T_PX/usr/share/syslinux/isolinux.bin $TMP/bootdisk/
-------------------
umount /dev/$STICK
rm -r $TMP/bootdisk
# Make the device bootable:
syslinux -s /dev/$STICK 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
-------------------
Please advise.
==TIA.
