Description Freek de Kruijf 2013-03-15 20:19:27 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0

I used live-fat-stick to boot the DVD iso of 12.3. I finally found I had to enter the name of the iso file on the USB stick when asked for the system to boot. It did not show up a a choice. So I finally got the initial stage of YaST on my screen. Right after the page with licence, there was a message asking for the repository, which I assume is again the iso file. YaST did not find that repository automatically. However in the dialog, only the partitions on the hard disk device are given (/dev/sda*) not the device where the fat partition was mounted. On tty2 I could see a device something like /mm.../.../ where the files on that vfat device are present. So apparently YaST does not look for this mounted device.

The request is to make YaST look for that device as well.

Using live-fat-stick/live-usb-gui to create bootable USB stick with installation DVD is now supported if you use --isohybrid option.

Please note that file size greater than 4G is not supported on vfat partition, so using --isohybrid wipes out all partitions and puts in isohybrid image, the stick is not usable as normal vfat partition from windows and multi-boot is not possible either.
