Basic Essentials:

• 1GB or larger USB flash drive (512MB will work but isn't recommended)
• Pendrivelinux.img
• Linux environment (Debian used in this example)

Obtaining and installing Pendrivelinux to USB:

1. Insert a 1GB or larger USB flash pen drive

2. Start your PC (booting from a Linux OS)
3. Download the pendrivelinux.img
4. Open a terminal and type sudo su
5. From the terminal, change to the directory where you saved pendrivelinux.img
6. Type fdisk -l and note which device is your USB device. Example:/dev/sdX (X
represents your USB drive

letter.

7. Type dd if=pendrivelinux.img of=/dev/sdX

Optional – Create a second partition for saving changes:

1. Type fdisk /dev/sdX

1. Type n (makes a new partition)
2. Type p (makes the new partition a primary partition)
3. Type 2 (makes this the 2nd primary partition)
4. Hit enter to accept the default first cylinder
5. Hit enter again to accept the default last cylinder
6. Type w (writes the new partition information to the USB drive)
2. Type umount /dev/sdX1 and then remove and reinsert your USB drive
3. Type mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 -L live-rw /dev/sdX2
4. Reboot your computer and set boot priority to boot from the USB stick

You should now be booting into USB Pen Drive Linux from your USB drive!

Notes: You must boot by typing live persistent at the boot prompt if you wish to use the
second partition to save or restore changes. Otherwise the system will boot in LIVE
mode.

No root password has been set by default. To set a root password open a terminal and
type sudo passwd root and then set the password you would like to use for root access

The default username is user. Default user password is live
