How To Create A Bootable Operating System Usb For Xiaopanos Beini Other Tiny Core Linux Builds

---

This will create a portable build which you can load in a virtual machine environment or you can even boot into it! It is essentially a live CD but on USB.

I like having this as an idea because you could use most windows computers with no need to install some sort of virtualisation software, it also ensures that all your systems resources stay in your OS to get maximum performance. It is also kinda a cool idea to have a WiFi hacking laptop and accessories. If you want this you should also install Opera, Flash and other apps, games also if you want to (check out the repository). You just need to add the appropriate .tce or .tcz files (see here and note the appropriate file locations may not be the same as suggested here).
1. Download unetbootin-windows-309.exe (Windows) or you can download the latest Linux, Windows or Mac version.

2. Rename your drive and format your USB as FAT32



3. Create a new folder on your desktop
4. Download UltraISO or any other ISO program where you can extract the files
5. Mount your ISO into UltraISO or other
6. Extract the files into your new folder that you created on your desktop


7. Drag all those files within your new folder into the USB drive, now.

7. Open UNetbootin and navigate to the following:

Kernel: ~\boot\vmlinuzInitrd: ~\boot\core.gzOptions: ~\boot\isolinux\isolinux.cfg
~ means your files on USB
some builds are varied and will be:
Kernel: ~\boot\bzImageInitrd: ~\boot\tinycore.gzOptions: ~\boot\isolinux\isolinux.cfg

Note: you can change these options manually. E.g. change the screen resolution (vga = 7??) or change the language (e.g. en.utf8).


See Tiny Core FAQs for other variable options

Here are the codes to change the screen resolution:

 Color            640x480     800x600      1024x768     1280x1024
   256      8 bit     769         771           773          775
 32000   15 bit     784         787           790          793
 65000   16 bit     785         788           791          794
 16.7M   24 bit     786         789           792          795
8. After rebooting, select the USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu.Reboot now? Yes



Note, this may only work in Windows or Linux system, definitely not Mac OS X. Check out the video below for an alternative method if the one above does not work. Let me know which methods work for you the best :)

If the USB does not load you should add the following kernel boot parameter waitusb=6 to potentially fix the problem.
