+--- Thread: Load USB ISO from existing Image to another computer (/showthread.php?tid=4485)
Load USB ISO from existing Image to another computer - ssxt - 09-29-2017
1. Created image like I wanted.
2. Used SystemBackup - per LL instructions - created an ISO on 16GB USB / Pendrive.
3. Boot off USB on another computer - same exact model of thin client - choose the Install option.
4. After entering user, pwd, host, etc. into goes to Partition Settings.
5. The Pen drive is 14.92 Gib; the computer's drive is 14.91 Gib.
>>>IS THIS THE ISSUE???too 'big' of ISO?
6. I do NOT understand Linux partitions (familiar w/Windows).
7. When I create a new partition and 'reset partition settings', it never gives me the 'NEXT' option.
Or How do I get to the 'Install Linux Lite' option AFTER I boot from the USB Pendrive - That Install option is EASY.
Thanks

Have never used SystemBack myself, so have no experience creating and using an ISO with it for installations. With that said, is your ISO file actually 14.92GiB in size, or is that just the full capacity of the USB stick you're using? If ISO is that size and disk you're installing to is less than that, that would cause problem. In that case, I'd suggest making a new ISO after eliminating some less necessary items on source system (to reduce size) that can be easily added back later.
If ISO file is not as big as destination drive, then possibly problem is how you're trying to partition. You didn't specify what type of partition(s) you were trying to set, but I'd suggest using just two:
-- One Swap partition, size = 1-2GB, format "linux-swap", no mount point to set for this
-- One large Root partition, size = rest of drive, format "Ext4", mount point = /
If none of this was helpful, hopefully someone with SystemBack experience will jump in here.

Tried to create a live usb ( LL 3.6x64) with systemback this morning.
It created the drive with no errors but could not get it to boot.
Just wondering if there is a problem with systemback....?.
Think I will stick with Etcher for live usb.
