Description
The installation guide at https://help.adelielinux.org/html/install/ is missing information on how to create installation media using Linux or BSD systems. I've put that together as far as burning ISO images to CDs goes. I can add instructions for flash devices shortly if you'd like that.
Btw, I'd change the heading of that section from
Creating the installation media
to
Creating installation media
Ok, here's the text:
On Linux or BSD systems, you can use either 'cdrecord' or 'cdrskin' to
write the installation image to a CD via the command line. Both commands
basically share the same syntax.
For example, to burn the image onto a CD at a speed of 4 and with
verbose command output, run:
cdrecord -v speed=4
or
cdrskin -v speed=4
replacing with the file name of the image you want to burn onto
the CD.
If there's only one optical disc drive on your system, it should be
auto-detected. If not, find the device name using 'dmesg' or 'lsblk' and
specify it using the 'dev' option, for example:
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 speed=4
Best,
msi
