--probe
(shorten -p
) gives you details about ISO boot capabilities and list available USB drives.
--assume-yes
(shorten -y
) bypass prompting the user for overwritting USB device, and --autoselect
(shorten -a
) allow automatic selection of USB device when exactly one device is connected in combination with --assume-yes
.
In the below example, the selected device with --device
(shorten -d
) flag is not connected through USB and bootiso
fails.
- On Fedora, set
BOOTISO_SYSLINUX_LIB_ROOT
environment to/usr/share/syslinux
. - Take a look at the by-distribution dependency table to make sure you have all required dependencies installed.
