Installing Debian Sarge from a USB memory stick (USB key)

root — Thu, 23 Jun 2005 13:03:22 +0000

Many Debian boxes need their floppy and/or CD-ROM drives only for setting up the system and for rescue purposes. If you operate some servers, you will probably already have thought about omitting those drives and using an USB memory stick for installing and (when necessary) for recovering the system. This is also useful for small systems which have no room for unnecessary drives.
