USB Directory Installation?

PremiumG · 03-10-2014, 03:36 PM

Zenwalk 7.4

Selected keypad
Wiped entire drive
6gb Logical swap 82
rest gb primary 83 BOOT

After, I click auto install and will not allow any entry for DIRECTORY.

The only other available drive is sdb (USB), so I tried:

Code:

/dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb/zenwalk
/dev/sdb1/zenwalk
/dev/sdb/isolinux
/dev/sdb1/isolinux

I read this... specifically

Quote:

then you boot the USB stick, but immediately exit the installer, create a directory and mount the USB stick to it, then restart the installer and point it at that directory.

HOW do I do this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I mean, keystrokes, code, give it all to me. When I exit the installer, it just boots a loop, so I dont see how I can

Code:

mkdir

or anything like that. Also,

Code:

ALT+F1;F2;F3;F4

do not allow me to input any useful code, F4 is the only one that lets me type, but will not actually input anything when I hit enter.

Mainly, I think all I need is that, but shouldn't there already be a documented solution to this mystery (installation overall)?

Alright so I got it mounted, but how do I restart the installer without losing the mount?
