Not wanting to use up another CD, I decided to try to install Debian with a
USB key. I followed the instructions at the Debian testing docs and downloaded boot.img.gz and the iso from the links at
debian-installer. Update 2005-15-09:
The daily build hd-media builds are erroring out right now, so I had to
download boot.img.gz and an iso from the lenny page.
Here are the commands:
root@stubberud:~# zcat /home/gsf/boot.img.gz > /dev/sda
root@stubberud:~# mkdir /media/usbkey
root@stubberud:~# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /media/usbkey/
root@stubberud:~# cp /home/gsf/debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-netinst.iso \
/media/usbkey/
root@stubberud:~# umount /media/usbkey/
Popped it in and it worked!
