Bug#172519: Feature Request: Install from USB Key
Package: installation-reports
Severity: wishlist
I recently noticed my motherboard allows me to boot from USB devices,
which I assume includes USB key/pen drives. I'd *love* to be able to
cart a debian installer around with me, both for installing new systems
and for repairing faults. I have NFI what's involved, nor any keys I can
send for development purposes (yet). If time permits I'll take a look at
this myself - suggestions as to where to start with d-i development
would be appreciated.
From bug #172340:
| That reminds me of another feature I forgot to mention: Install from
| USB Keys. I think I'll file it as a separate wishlist bug though...
I think the floppy-retriever might work for this. It's a definitive
goal (and it will happen faster if somebody throws a key or two in my
direction (no, I'm not going to spend 150 USD to get a decent-sized
USB key) ;)
