Die Idee:

mal schnell meinen neunen Rechner vom Stick booten. Keys dabei haben etc.

 USB Memory Sticks

The use of memory sticks is rather comfortable. If you're new to that topic, you should probably have a look at Niko Sauer's Flash-Memory-HOWTO. Nico explains in detail what to do to get it working. Tough I think, it's very good written and worth reading, here's a shortcut.

Enable the kernel option '/proc filesystem' (PROC_FS) and add the line "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/memstick vfat defaults,user,noauto,umask=000,codepage=850" to the file '/etc/fstab' (yes, memory sticks are usually not divided in several partitions, though this is possible). Create the directory /mnt/memstick. Useful are kernel options 'USB device filesystem (USB_DEVICEFS) and 'USB Mass Storage support' (USB_STORAGE) if you want to use for example USB Memory Sticks. I use a SanDisc Cruzer Micro. Add the line "none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0" to the file '/etc/fstab'. Either reboot or execute 'mount /proc/bus/usb'. If the directory '/proc/bus/usb' exists, everything is ok.

As these devices are handled using the SCSI emulation API, you'll need to activate 'SCSI device support' (SCSI), 'SCSI disk support' (BLK_DEV_SD), 'SCSI generic support' (CHR_DEV_SG) and maybe 'Verbose SCSI error reporting (kernel size +=12K)' (SCSI_CONSTANTS).

Here's what syslog tells me if I then insert it to the 2nd port:

usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using address 10

01]: creating device node '/dev/sdb1'
15]: creating device node '/dev/sg2'

After this, you should be able to mount the memstick with 'mount /mnt/memstick'. Of course, you have enable the desired filesystem support, I guess 'DOS FAT fs support' (FAT_FS), 'MSDOS fs support' (MSDOS_FS), 'VFAT (Windows 95) fs support' (VFAT_FS) and maybe 'Second extended fs support (ext2fs)' (EXT2_FS).

Bootable Linux USB Drive – How To

http://www.geekstreet.ca/article.php?sid=2208

http://www.minimalinux.org/

You have arrived at the homepage of ttylinux, a minimalistic GNU/Linux distribution. The distribution aims to fit into 4 megabytes of space and run even on 386 class computers, yet does provide a rather complete command line environment and is prepared for Internet dial-in.

The target audience for ttylinux is mainly system administrators and people who want to put together minimalistic systems of their own.
