How to Run Linux from an USB Flash Drive

ok whay to do it vary hard if a program can do that for you !!!

Ever wanted to have a portable operating system? One that can reside inside a small USB flash drive? In the past, it was possible to run a Linux distribution from an USB stick just like you would have run it from a Compact Disc, but this task was quite hard to achieve. Why? Simply because you had to type a lot of geeky commands in a terminal and if, somehow, you forgot one or typed something wrong, the whole process had to be started all over again. Not to mention that it could take about 1-2 hours to make a bootable USB stick. Therefore, this guide is here to teach you some new Linux magic tricks on how to achieve a portable Linux operating system, in no more than 5 minutes! How? With the help of a great and marvelous tool called UNetbootin.

For this tutorial, we've used Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS and BackTrack 3 Linux distributions, both tested with an 1GB Kingstone DataTraveler 2.0 USB flash drive.Things you need:

boot you linux from your Mobile

Ok lets start for that i use my mobile SGH-F480

And I do it form windows!!

remove the micro sd Put it in the SD-adapter Put the SD-adapter in the USB adapter hehehehe crazy way , why I do that I need it to work like usb flash disk not SD flash for those with notebook ok now

You can just connect the mobile to your usb and use storage mode but what I do is more faster!!!

Download the HP USB tool and format your stick with the tool using a FAT file system.

Download the Feather Linux zip file

http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/feather/feather-0.7.4-usb.zip


Extract the files from feather-0.7.4-usb.zip to your USB stick.

Download and extract syslinux.zip to a directory on your computer
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Old/syslinux-2.11.zip

Run the command prompt in windows (start/run/cmd) and CD to the syslinux directory. Once there simply type syslinux.exe F: (F: being the example drive letter of the USB stick in this system)

Reboot your PC, go into your system BIOS and set your boot order to boot from
Any selectable USB device. (example USB_ZIP or USB_HDD)
Save your BIOS settings. On the next reboot, you should have a successful launch of Feather Linux from you mobile that concected with the micro-sd inside hehehehehe
Of Corse and but it on storage mode have fun bye

Install VMware Server on Ubuntu

The first step, of course, is to download VMware Server. You’ll want to download the .tar.gz version. This command can be used for a direct download:

wget -c http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.tar.gz

The second step is to install some development tools that we’ll need to get things running. Use the following command or click the package names to install the requirements:

sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-kernel-devel linux-headers-generic xinetd

Installation and Configuration

Let’s unpack the VMware archive that we downloaded and run the VMware installer.

tar xf VMware-server-1.0.7-*.tar.gz
cd vmware-server-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl

The Last Step

If you attempt to run vmware at this point you might notice that it spits out some nasty errors and complains at you. There is one more thing we need to setup.

Basically VMware is missing and complaining about some cairo libraries and gcc. So, the simple fix for this is to point to them by using a symbolic link:

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgcc_s.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0

At this point you should be able to launch vmware and enjoy some virtualization goodness. Enjoy!
