Requirements

To create Brynux install media you'll need:

• At least an 8GB USB stick or a blank DVD and DVD Writer

Download

Applications

Install Process

Option 1: Burn to DVD

Download the latest i686 or x86_64 ISO and burn Brynux to a DVD so you can install it on your computer.

Option 2: Make Live USB Stick from within Fedora or Centos

1. Install the required packages by opening a terminal, and type "sudo dnf install livecd-tools qemu-kvm kernel-headers -y"
2. If you'd like to test the ISO before installing it to a USB stick just run this command in a terminal: "qemu-kvm -m 2000 -vga vmware -cdrom brynux-30-x86_64.iso"
3. Plug in USB and see what it's drive letter is by typing this command "sudo df -h". In the example below mine is /dev/sdb1
   
4. Unmount the USB by typing "umount /dev/sdb1
5. Then run this command to write the ISO to USB: "sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --delete-home --unencrypted-home --home-size-mb 2048 --overlay-size-mb 2048 --label BRYNUX-OS --reset-mbr --format --efi brynux-30-x86_64.iso /dev/sdb1"
6. For older systems that don't support EFI boot, type: "sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --delete-home --unencrypted-home --home-size-mb 2048 --overlay-size-mb 2048 --label BRYNUX-OS --reset-mbr --format --msdos brynux-30-x86_64.iso /dev/sdb1"

Option 3: Make Live USB Stick from within Windows, OSX or other Linux

1. Download UNetbootin.
2. Open and load the Brynux ISO next to Diskimage. See full instructions here.
