Installation MTE: how to add boot options ? usb install possible

Posted by hmelgers on

Hello,

We're having problems installing the ISO on our server because of hardware problems with the dvd drive. Usually this can be solved by adding at the boot: prompt something like:

linux all-generic-ide mem=2048m

However this doesnt work because the TL iso is highly customized.

So, is it possible to add these options somewhere ? Or is it possible to put the iso on an usb stick and install it from there ? What is the way to go then ?

Hope you can help,
Hans

ive installed from a usb dvd drive before, by merely adding the removable drive media to the first option in my boot search order of the bios. Looked like a regular cd-rom to the python installation software.
