Another interesting but all-too-brief article on the subject of creating bootable distro's: Weekend Project: Create a Live USB Key Linux Distribution by Nathan Willis.

But just to clarify, I think the original poster was talking about booting Zentyal from USB, not installing it form USB.

LOL, Sam: More than 12 months and 50 replies (including my eight comments) but still no answers to the original question: Has anyone successfully installed Zentyal to a USB thumb drive (a la FreeNAS)?

Please, I really need help with this.... I'm trying to install Zentyal into my new HP Proliant Microserver. It has no CD drive!! How should I do this - installation keeps asking me for CD?

Aureleuz: Buy an external USB CD-ROM/CD-RW. e.g., I've always had very good luck with this Samsung SE-S084F/RSBS external CD/DVD Drive.

I haven't had time to make any progress on this topic but I did find another bit of useful information on Wikipedia: The list of external links at the bottom of the article about Live CD's.

FWIW: While reading over the usb-creator article on Wikipedia I discovered an interesting resource: An article that contains a List of Tools to Create Live USB Systems.

There are several articles that detail the process of installing Ubuntu to a USB drive so this got me to wondering: Would it just be easier to create a Live USB drive using Ubuntu (using a purpose-built tool like usb-creator) and then install the Zentyal packages to the Live USB?

Linux Live Scripts may be the answer to my quest...

Another fantastic example of converting a distro to boot/run form USB thumb drive: Kevin Riggins' guide to booting BT4 from USB - "Backtrack 4 – USB/Persistent Changes/Nessus"

e.g., Collin C. MacMillan's tutorial for installing FreeNAS to a USB thumb drive using the FreeNAS embedded image - "Installing FreeNAS to USB Flash: Easy as 1,2,3"

Has anyone successfully run Zentyal from a bootable USB thumb drive?
