I tested it again for this article, it failed miserably and was generally unpleasant to use. There’s also our old favorite, which is open source and actively maintained. It’ll cost you $5 for a pre-compiled binary, assuming you don’t want to download and compile it yourself. This low entry fee helps keep the project maintained, but it’s hard to justify paying for something Etcher or Terminal can do for free. Which technique do you prefer for burning Linux USB drives? And which flavors of Linux work best on your Mac? Talk about it in the comments, below.

Your bootable Linux USB drive is now ready, you can now skip to the Booting Your USB Drive section below. Method 2: Create a Live USB Using the Terminal (Moderate) If for some reason you don’t want to use Etcher (maybe you’re on an incompatible version of macOS), you can accomplish this task using the command line. This is possible using Terminal, your Mac’s built-in command line interface. While this method requires a little more thought and patience on your part, it’s actually pretty straightforward. You might even learn a thing or two, plus you’ll feel smart afterwards. Assuming you’ve formatted your drive as per the instructions at the start of this tutorial, here’s how it works: 1.

KNOPPIX is a bootable Live system on CD, DVD or USB flash drives, consisting of a representative collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a productive Linux system for the desktop, educational CD, rescue.

1: Knoppix [ UPDATE: New link] is one of the better tools for rescuing data from sick machines. It's a full-blown live Linux distribution with a strong, user-friendly GUI that will allow you to easily mount a drive and then copy the data (which you will locate in an easy-to-use file manager) to an external source. Of course, Knoppix comes with the full arsenal of Linux commands, which place just about everything you need at your fingertips. 2: Trinity Rescue Kit might leave you wondering, 'Why isn't this tool being developed faster and on a larger scale? Although TRK is rather slow to develop, what it offers is just short of amazing. Place it on a USB drive, boot your virus-laden machine, and scan the mounted drives with clamav, antivir, bitdefender, and more. This tool is all command line, so you might have to bone up on your commands to really make use of it.

Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it. Full Specifications What's new in version 7.0.4 Version 7.0.4 contains all necessary data also in the CD version in order to directly install software via synaptic.

• Ensure the correct USB device is selected — hit Change to see a list of connected devices. • Finalize the process by clicking Flash! And wait for the process to complete. You’ll likely see an error message warning you that your USB drive isn’t compatible with your Mac. That’s normal — simply eject and go.

• Scroll to the bottom of the Index page, and click to download the most recent English version of the Knoppix CD image ISO file: • The file name should begin with 'KNOPPIX' and end with '-EN.iso' ( not 'DE', which is the German version). • The file should have a size of over 700,000 KB • Note into which folder you put the file, so you can find it in the next steps. • Wait for the file to download; it may take hours, even at high speed. Running Knoppix from CD • If you have not made a Knoppix CD yet, create one out of the ISO file with a CD writer program and write a label on it. • Place the Knoppix CD in the CD drive. In Windows, the Knoppix CD may automatically open a browser window to the CD's instruction set.

I want to create a Knoppix bootable USB flash drive. I've found instructions about how to do this, but I would like to do it fulfilling the following conditions: The USB I am planning to use has 8 GB capacity, and Knoppix only needs 700 MB (I'll use the little CD version, not the humongous DVD one). I would like to use as little of the capacity of the USB flash drive (I was planning to use 1 GB for the Knoppix bootable disk and the rest as free space). The remaining free space would be a FAT32 partition, so I can use it as a 'regular' USB drive. I am currently using a Debian PC; I would appreciate instructions on how to do this using Linux, and (optionally) OS X. First you have to partition the pendrive (lets assume it's mouted as /dev/sdc) into two seperate partitions. You can achieve this with the gparted utility in debian.You can type in terminal gparted to open this utility.There are a plethora of manual on using gparted on internet (also on creating a usb bootable linux distro).

• If you see a list of video modes from which to choose, select mode 0 as the most generally reliable. • If you have compatible hardware, Knoppix will proceed through its startup process, auto-detecting your hardware, and end up in the KDE ('Kool Desktop Environment') graphical user interface.

Method 1: Create a Live USB Using Etcher (Easy) is a free open source tool for burning disc images onto USB and SD drives. It’s a relatively recent addition to the When most people think open source, they think Linux. But Mac OS X has its share of quality open source programs as well — and a bunch of them aren't available for Linux or Windows., and it makes creating bootable devices completely foolproof: • Grab your desired Linux image, then and install it. • Insert your USB stick, then launch Etcher. • Click Select image and find the Linux image you downloaded — Etcher supports.IMG,.ISO and.ZIP among others. • Ensure the correct USB device is selected — hit Change to see a list of connected devices.

It also allows advanced data repair and recovery, as well as recovery from that ever-dreaded malware! 8: Ddrescue is a Linux tool designed to copy data from one file block device to another.

You might even learn a thing or two, plus you’ll feel smart afterwards. Assuming you’ve formatted your drive as per the instructions at the start of this tutorial, here’s how it works: 1. Convert Your.ISO Launch Terminal and take note of where your Linux disc image is stored in Finder. Convert your image (usually an.ISO) to an.IMG file using the hdiutil convert command: hdiutil convert /path/to/downloaded.iso -format UDRW -o /path/to/newimage Replace /path/to/downloaded.iso with the location of your own.ISO (you can drag and drop directly into the Terminal window if you want) and /path/to/newimage to wherever you want the new image file to be created. You’ll likely be able to identify the drive by its name, it’s format, and its size using a process of elimination. Take a note of the listing under the IDENTIFIER column, then unmount the drive using the following command: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX You’ll need to replace diskX with the corresponding number, e.g.

Disk3 — if successful Terminal will report that the disk was unmounted. If you’re having trouble unmounting a drive, you can launch Disk Utility, right click on a drive, then choose Unmount (don’t eject the drive, though). The final step is to write the image to your USB stick, using the dd command: sudo dd if=/path/to/newimage.dmg of=/dev/diskN bs=1m Replace /path/to/newimage.dmg with the path to the file we created in step 1 (again, drag and drop works best), and diskN with the location we identified earlier. You’ll need to authorize with your administrator password immediately afterwards, since we used the sudo command.

The Live USB will be wiped at each boot, so you can’t save files, but you can try out the OS. If you are using a Mac, you can easily create a Linux Live USB in macOS by following the instructions below. Note: While this tutorial does not cover any system-wrecking tasks, you must make backups of your system before messing with your boot drive. If you plan to install Linux from this USB stick, back up your computer completely.

We also have to trawl through the kernel source and the umpteen kernel 'config' files so that we can release a coherent set of patches.

It features amongst many things automatic hardware detection and a unique persistence feature with encryption capabilities. Knoppix is based on Debian GNU/Linux and utilizes a lightweight LXDE desktop environment.

You can go the freeware route for an easy option, or put a little bit of time into creating the drive yourself using Terminal. Today we’ll cover both these methods! First: Prepare Your USB Drive Make sure you choose the right USB drive for the job, and that it’s formatted correctly to avoid any problems. Some Linux variants may require larger volumes, so pay attention to the requirements when downloading. Others don’t have any strict requirements, but formatting to FAT beforehand is a good idea: Warning: Everything on your drive will be erased if you do this! • Insert your USB drive into your Mac and launch Disk Utility (under Applications > Utilities, or Today we're going to share our favourite good Mac habits, while desperately trying to forget the bad ones.). • Select your USB device in the menu on the left, then click Erase.

This tool will aid you in rescuing data when your drive is suffering from read errors. Unlike many of the tools on this list, Ddrescue is not a live distribution but a tool you will use on a running Linux machine. So to rescue data, you will have to attach that troubled disk to the working Linux machine. 9: Safecopy is similar to ddrescue, allowing you to copy files from a disk suffering from I/O errors.

Hi, I did some hacking during LinuxTag and made an initial prototype for Knoppix on Macs. (no cloop yet, though, so don't expect wonders) It has some problems but should be bootable and find most hardware, although it has not modelines for all things. So X can make problems.

You’ll see the boot options menu appear. Select the connected USB drive. The Mac will boot the Linux system from the connected USB drive. If your Mac just boots to the login screen and you don’t see the boot options menu, reboot your Mac again and hold down the Option key earlier in the boot process. This solution will allow you to boot common Linux USB drives on your Mac. You can just boot and use them normally without modifying your system.

Mac Linux USB Loader will create a bootable USB drive that will work on your Mac and boot into that Linux distribution without any problems or hacks. Before booting the drive, you may want to change some other options here. For example, you can set up “persistence” on the drive and part of the USB drive will be reserved for your files and settings. This only works for Ubuntu-based distributions. Click “Persistence Manager” on the main screen, choose your drive, select how much of the drive should be reserved for persistent data, and click “Create Persistence” to enable this. Booting the Drive RELATED: To actually boot the drive, reboot your Mac.

Keeping a distro current with GNU/Linux development can be quite difficult. Debian’s boot system and hardware support via udev can make it difficult for the developer of a Linux distribution to figure out what needs to change just to boot up. Lucky for me, Knoppix’s boot system again proved to be a big timesaver. Knoppix completely works around the Debian default startup systems (Upstart/systemd) by using knoppix-autoconfig, a single shell script that does all the work of preconfiguration (Figures 1 and 2).

But Mac OS X has its share of quality open source programs as well — and a bunch of them aren't available for Linux or Windows., and it makes creating bootable devices completely foolproof: • Grab your desired Linux image, then and install it. • Insert your USB stick, then launch Etcher. • Click Select image and find the Linux image you downloaded — Etcher supports.IMG,.ISO and.ZIP among others. • Ensure the correct USB device is selected — hit Change to see a list of connected devices. • Finalize the process by clicking Flash!

Use Mac Linux USB Loader RELATED: A tool named “” by SevenBits worked well for us. This Mac application will allow you to create USB drives with your preferred Linux distro on them from within Mac OS X in just a few clicks. You can then reboot and boot those USB drives to use the Linux distribution from the live system. Note: Be sure to move the Mac Linux USB Loader application to your Applications folder before running it. This will avoid a missing “Enterprise Source” error later. First, insert the USB drive into your Mac.
