| | Before Fedora 24 the script was usually available in the installation disc's filesystem at {{Code|/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk}} . From a booted LiveOS filesystem, the outer USB/SD/CD/DVD device filesystem is mounted on the {{Code|/run/initramfs/live/}} mount point (or at {{Code|/mnt/live/}} on Fedora 16 and earlier). |

| | |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS
| |
| | |
| B<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>
| |
| | |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION
| |
| | |
| B<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. B<livecd-iso-to-disk> requires an ISO image and a USB storage device. ISO images can be created with B<livecd-creator>.
| |
| | |
| B<livecd-iso-to-disk> is not a destructive process; any data you currently have on your USB stick is preserved.
| |
| | |
| =head1 OPTIONS
| |
| | |
| =over 4
| |
| | |
| =item --format
| |
| | |
| Formats the USB stick and creates an MS-DOS partition table (or GPT partition table if --efi is passed).
| |
| | |
| =item --reset-mbr
| |
| | |
| Sets the Master Boot Record(MBR) of the USB storage device to the mbr.bin file from the image's syslinux directory.
| |
| | |
| =item --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.
| |
| | |
| =item --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.
| |
| | |
| =item --home-size-mb
| |
| | |
| Sets the home directory size in megabytes.
| |
| | |
| =item --unencrypted-home
| |
| | |
| Disables the encryption of the home directory.
| |
| | |
| =item --skipcopy
| |
| | |
| Skips the copy of the live image to the USB stick.
| |
| | |
| =item --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.
