Creating USB Minix Key

Finally i succeded in creating USB Key containg Minix3.
Steps are simple

  1. Download the USB Key image from Minix Download Section
  2. Next determine the USB device.
     lshw -class storage
     df -k

  3. Use fdisk to format USB Key in Linux Primary format.
     sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

  4. Use "dd" to make a raw copy of the Image downloaded.
     sudo dd if=usb_image-3.1.2a of=/dev/sdb bs=1024

  5. Next Reboot your computer and select "USB Device" to boot from.



Last step is kinda luck, depends if your BIOS allows booting from USB Device. If Not all other step goes in vain :).
