How to create a USB-to-Hard drive installer?
Posted: Mon 16 Jan 2006, 11:34
Hi, how would I go about creating a simple puppy, installed on a USB drive, that installs a puppy with a load of other packages on to a hard drive (much like a cd installer, if you haven't noticed)?
Also, would it be possible to make it so that there are several installation options, each installs software from a different location?
Also, would it be possible to make it so that it installs all the packages from a folder, so that adding new packages to the folder doesn't require changing anything else?
Basically, I need a simple installation of linux on many PCs, but some PCs need more functionality that others. Some are developement machines running loads of stuff, some are servers running java and matchbox window maker, some are clients, running the same as the server.
Thanks in advance!
If you need any more information, just ask, and I'm sorry about my first post being a long winded request.
