Install Debian Linux from USB boot memory stick

leave a comment

There are more and more Laptops nowadays which do not have a CD/DVD-ROM facility build in but are able to boot from USB memory stick. This small guide provides all needs on how to create a bootable USB memory stick to install a Debian without a need for CD/DVD drive.

Before you continue make sure that you have backed up all your data from your USB memory stick. After completing this guide your USB memory stick will contain a new partition table and all your data will be lost.

This guide also assumes that you have a running linux system and USB memory stick with minimal size of 512MB which you will use for the process of creating Debian boot installation USB stick.
1. Find USB device name

Plug in your USB stick and find its device file name by:

fdisk -l

For the rest of this guide we are going to use /dev/sdb as our target.

WARNING: DO NOT COPY AND PASTE COMMANDS FROM THIS PAGE UNLESS YOUR TARGET DEVICE IS ALSO /dev/sdb !!
2. Create FAT16 partition

Next we need to create FAT16 partition. For this we can use cfdisk with -z option. This command will completely remove all your data from your USB stick, so backup first !:

cfdisk -z /dev/sdb

and create a first primary partition with the minimal size of 260MB and leave the rest unpartitioned or create second partition with some other filesystem for normal use of your USB stick. The size of 260 MB will fit a current Debian stable boot.img.gz and and Debian netinst ISO image.

NOTE: it is fine to create a single partition with full size of your USB memory stick but you will not be able to use more than 239MB of from your actual USB disk memory size. Once done the output of fdisk -l will look similar to the one below.

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 197 390817 6 FAT16
/dev/sdb2 198 1016 1624896 b W95 FAT32

Download Debian boot image As a nest step we need to download Debian boot image. Use wget:

wget ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz

NOTE: if you want testing or unstable version of Debian boot image just change a keyword stable in the previous URL to unstable or testing.

Debian Installer 6.0 Alpha1 release

2 comments

[ad#Google Adsense-1]
The Debian Installer Team[1] is pleased to announce the Debian Installer 6.0 Alpha1. This first release since Lenny brings a lot of new features and improvements.

It is also important to note that we have disabled the Graphical
Installer, and as consequence the speakup drivers, for this release
due a breakage in the DirectFB backend of the GTK+ library. We are
working to get this fixed for next release.

As most people will have noticed, this release has taken more time than
usual. This was for various reasons that go from technical (major
changes in the installer itself and other components that affect us)
to lack of manpower to manage all the work required quickly. We really
need more people to help us and contribute; please contact us if you’re
interested in helping.

Here follows the most important new features and improvements.

Help during the installation process

The dialogs presented during the installation process now have the
capacity to offer the user a help option. This is already in use in some
dialogs during the installation and will be increasingly used in future
releases. We believe this will improve the user experience during the
installation process, especially for new users.

Installation of recommended packages

For Lenny and earlier releases Debian Installer did not install Recommends.
This has been changed for Squeeze and D-I will now install recommended
packages by default.

There is an option to configure APT to not install Recommends by default
(from the boot prompt or using preseeding). This option is intended only
for expert users who know what the consequences are of not installing
Recommends and who have the experience/skills needed to cherry-pick any
desired Recommends after the installation has been completed.

The installer makes a few specific exceptions to the general configuration
by either always or never installing the Recommends of specific packages
in cases where following the general setting gives undesired results.

Step by Step Membuat File Server dengan openSUSE 11.2

2 comments

Disini saya ingin berbagi pengalaman membuat samba server dengan menggunakan openSUSE 11.2. Caranya sangat mudah karena berbasis pada GUI setting sehingga kesalahan karena salah tulis script dapat dikurangi. Namun sebelum itu saya ingin bercerita tentang apa itu samba server. Samba server adalah suatu aplikasi opensource yang digunakan untuk file sharing, printer sharing dan aplikasi menggunakan smb/cifs protocol seperti antara dos, windows, os/2, linux dan lainnya.

Bagaimana cara konfigurasinya? berikut saya sampaikan step by step.

Instal aplikasi File Server
Ya, untuk mengoperasikan samba server tentunya diperlukan aplikasi file server. Cara menginstalnya ada dua cara yaitu menggunakan YaST atau menggunakan zypper. Jika menggunakan YaST masuk sofware management->pilih patern->kemudian centang File Server kemudian Instal. Jika menggunakan zypper silakan ketik

#zypper in -t pattern file_server.

Konfigurasi Samba Server
Masuk YaST -> Network Service -> Samba Server

Setting WLAN Broadcom 43xx pada openSUSE

4 comments

Ternyata konfigurasi WLAN broadcom di opensuse tidak begitu susah-susah amat. Buktinya saya dapat menginstallnya dengan sangat mudah bahkan ada fasilitas one click install untuk mempermudah opensuse user dalam instalasinya.

Untuk yang menggunakan yast silakan masukkan repository di YAST>Software>Repository>Add>Spesify URL masukkan http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.0/ beri nama apa saja untuk repo ini tapi umumnya di kasih nama packman. Ganti angka 11.0 dengan angka 11.1 sesuai dengan versi openSUSE yang di pakai. Setelah itu refresh repository nya.

Setelah repository di refresh masuk ke YAST>Software Management, search software broadcom-wl disana akan muncul beberapa nama sofware, pilih nama-nama software berikut untuk di install:

  • broadcom-wl
  • broadcom-wl-kmp-pae
  • broadcom-wl-kmp-xen
  • broadcom-wl-kmp-default
  • broadcom-wl-kmp-debug

Setelah itu tinggal next-next dan next sampai selesai. Nha kalo udah selesai tinggal di reboot dan selesai. Udah gitu aja… gampang kan? Lebih gampang lagi pake one-click install yang dapat di unduh di sini. Tentunya sesuaikan dengan versi openSUSE yang di gunakan. Selamat mencoba…

Menambahkan Avant Window Navigator pada openSUSE

7 comments

Berawal ketika saya berkunjung ke http://gnome-look.org disana saya melihat banyaknya theme yang bisa di aplikasikan di desktop gnome. Salah satu yang saya suka adalah theme MacOS. Tapi ketika saya donlot dan install ternyata tidak bisa sempurna, theme nya hanya bisa merubah window border dan icon saja tapi untuk panel bawahnya tetap sama.

Nha sekarang bagaimana kita menambahakan menu navigasi pada panel bawah gnome atau disebut juga avant window navigator seperti di MacOS? Untuk para pengguna openSUSE Gnome silakan tambahkan repositori ini dulu dengan masuk ke konsole sebagai root :

zypper ar http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/11.0/ awn

setelah itu refresh repositorynya

zypper ref

sekarang instal avant window navigator

zypper in avant-window-navigator

Setelah selesai instal tekan tombol Alt+F2 kemudian tulis avant-window-navigator untuk menjalankan awn. Dan inilah hasilnya, cantik bukan? Oiya awn ini hanya bekerja di desktop GNOME lho..

FTP dengan nautilus

one comment

Tahukah kawan-kawan bahwa nautilus bisa melakukan FTP, SSH dan sebagainya sebagaimana yang dilakukan dolphin? Jika belum maka disini saya akan berbagi bagaimana caranya menggunakan nautilus untuk mengakses ftp.

Ternyata caranya sangat mudah. Install saja dolphin dan konqueror maka secara otomatis librarinya akan menambahi library nya nautilus. Dengan begitu kita sudah bisa melakukan ftp dan ssh melalui nautilus.

Oiya, untuk openSUSE menggukan perintah

zypper in kde4-konqueror kde4-dolphin

tentunya cara tersebut dilakukan ketika kita terhubung dengan internet dan harus dengan user root. :p
