UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads: "Introduction

UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on both Windows and Linux. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.
Requirements

* Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7, or Linux.
* Internet access for downloading a distribution to install, or a pre-downloaded ISO file

Features

UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive, or it can make a 'frugal install' on your local hard disk if you don't have a USB drive. It loads distributions either by downloading a ISO (CD image) files for you, or by using an ISO file you've already downloaded.

Another cool tool, that worked better

Then I tried to use Universal USB Creator (same as YUMI but Windows version), and it works!

Just giving alternative suggestions if all you tried failed!

List all installed rpm packages and it’s size

List all installed rpm packages and it’s size

Virtual Private Server disk space are usually limited so it’s always good to know how much space on the hard drive takes some rpm package. You can delete it later – you will save your disk space and of course some bandwidth if updates are released later on.

rpm -qa –qf ‘%10{SIZE}\t%{NAME}\n’ | sort -k1,1n

This applies to Linux environment servers only.

This command should be:

rpm -qa –queryformat=”%10{SIZE}\t%{NAME}\n” | sort -k1,1n

Fix “No root device found” on Fedora 13 live USB stick @ subuya

Fix “No root device found” on Fedora 13 live USB stick: "Trying to boot the Fedora 13 ISO beta written on to a USB memory stick with LiveUSB Creator, I kept getting the error:

No root device found. Boot has failed, sleeping forever.

It looks like the wrong UID for the boot drive is set for some reason, so the boot loader is looking for a drive that doesn’t exist. Instead of booting by UID, you can boot by drive label. By default, X gives your USB drive the label FEDORA.

To temporarily fix this so that you can boot, you need to change the kernel line like so:

1. When the Fedora boot screen appears telling you that the system will start in 10 seconds, press Enter to access the boot menu.
2. Press Tab to open the boot options
3. Change: root=live:UUID=1390-4D09 (the UID will be different, derived from your USB stick) to root=live:LABEL=FEDORA
4. Press Enter to boot.

To fix the problem permanently, edit the same line in the syslinux.conf file in /syslinux directory of the USB drive (you’ll probably need to boot from another OS to do this).
