I want to install a redhat linux on a x86 NUC
I downloaded redhat iso file and want to convert it to a bootable usb stick
I formatted the 32G stick with exfat as fat32 is not supported (size)
when booting the stick it has a problem with the filesystem.
it indicates exf.. remove the media and continue
is exfat supported for this ?
I am trying now ntfs, but copying the redhat files takes some time
any idea how to boot from a 32G stick a redhat linux ?
I tried before a 8G stick FAT32 and ubuntu and this worked
but redhat needs at least 16G stick

thanks for all answers/help
best regards, Guy
 


Just use an iso writer to create bootable usb flash driver for you, such as rufus or one that comes with your DE or the cli tool dd.
 
i have used unetbootin
the question was : which fs to use to format the stick

unetbootin hasn't been reliable anymore for quite some time, a good iso writer does the whole process for you so that you don't have have to think about what you need to setup except for selecting your usb device and the iso. Are you working from Windows or Linux?
 
G'day Guy and welcome to linux.org

If you're happy, you can mark this as solved.

Just go to your first post, choose Edit Thread and click No Prefix and choose Solved.

Just to clarify, for anyone else, when you create a bootable pendrive, you 'image copy' the .iso file to it, (the filesystem is part of the .iso image) - basically, you are making your pendrive look just like a CD/DVD to the computer. :)
 
It doesn't matter what file system is on the Flash Drive...plug it in...I use Etcher and burn the ISO to it...simple.
