Phyllome OS meets a thumb drive true 2025-04-17T21:04:33.172Z markdown 2021-11-13T11:34:07.852Z

Create a bootable USB flash drive

In this section, you will learn how to create a bootable USB flash drive that will allow you to deploy Phyllome on a target computer.

  • Requirements
    • A fast USB 3.0 flash drive of at least 10 GB
    • A local copy of the Fedora Everything ISO file

Command-line instructions for Unix systems

  • Plug the USB 3.0 flash drive in your computer.

  • Then adapt that command, which assumes that the Fedora Everything ISO file is available in the current folder and that the target device is called sdz. Use lsblk to identify it.

This command will destroy any data on the target device sdz {.is-danger}

# dd bs=4MB if=./Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-41-1.4 of=/dev/sdz

Manual instructions (Cross-platform)

The instructions are designed with Etcher in mind. Other tools such as Rufus, Unetbootin or Ventoy are likely to work too.

Etcher is an open-source, cross platform tool for flashing images to a target medium. It is developed and made available by balena {.is-info}
