Installation MTE: how to add boot options ? usb install possible

Posted by hmelgers on Wed, 03/16/2011

Hello,

We're having problems installing the ISO on our server because of hardware problems with the dvd drive. Usually this can be solved by adding at the boot: prompt something like:

linux all-generic-ide mem=2048m

However this doesnt work because the TL iso is highly customized.

So, is it possible to add these options somewhere ? Or is it possible to put the iso on an usb stick and install it from there ? What is the way to go then ?

Hope you can help,
Hans

ive installed from a usb dvd drive before, by merely adding the removable drive media to the first option in my boot search order of the bios. Looked like a regular cd-rom to the python installation software.
