bootable pendrive from zip file
Hello:
I recently used clonezilla and followed these instructions:
https://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php#linux-setup
to create a bootable pendrive from a zip file. What I liked about this
method is that I can continue saving data on the pendrive and if I want
to delete clonezilla I just have to delete it normally, without the need
to format.
The usual method of creating a pendrive to install debian is:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.en.html#usb-copy-isohybrid
but this way I can't write more files to the pendrive, unless I format
the empty space. And when I want to delete the installation from the
pendrive I have to use fdisk and mkfs.
I have tried to transform the debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso file into
zip but the size has gone from 659 MiB to 1.5 GiB, when with clonezilla
both take up the same size. This increase in size makes it take longer
to copy the data to the pendrive.
Does anyone know why this happens.
Thanks in advance.
