NAME

livecd-iso-to-disk - installs bootable CD images on a USB storage devices.

SYNOPSIS

livecd-iso-to-disk [--format] [--reset-mbr] [--noverify] [--efi] [--overlay-size-mb <size>] [\-\-home\-size\-mb <size>] [\-\-unencrypted\-home] [\-\-skipcopy] <path-to-iso> <usb storage device>

DESCRIPTION

livecd-iso-to-disk installs a live CD or DVD image(ISO image) onto a USB storage device. The USB storage device can then boot the installed operating system on systems which support booting via USB. livecd-iso-to-disk requires an ISO image and a USB storage device. ISO images can be created with livecd-creator.

livecd-iso-to-disk is not a destructive process; any data you currently have on your USB stick is preserved.

OPTIONS

--format
Formats the USB stick and creates an MS-DOS partition table (or GPT partition table if --efi is passed).
--reset-mbr
Sets the Master Boot Record(MBR) of the USB storage device to the mbr.bin file from the image's syslinux directory.
--noverify
Disables the image validation process which occurs before the image is installed. When this option is enabled the image is not verified before installation on the USB storage device.
--overlay-size-mb
This option sets the overlay size in megabytes. The overlay is additional storage available to the live operating system if the operating system supports it. The USB storage device must have enough free space for the image and the overlay.
--home-size-mb
Sets the home directory size in megabytes.
--unencrypted-home
Disables the encryption of the home directory.
--skipcopy
Skips the copy of the live image to the USB stick and disables the --forma, --home-size-mb, and --swap-size-mb options. The --overlay-size-mb option is changed to only reinitialize the existing overlay area, to recreate it from scratch.

The intended use of this option is to speed up testing of the boot configuration of live images.

--efi
Create a GPT partition table when --format is passed, and install an hybrid EFI/MBR bootloader on the disk. This is necessary for most Intel Macs.
