hii shrawan,

these are the steps:-

1) Mount the CD Drive
#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
2) Create a FAT filesystem in pen drive
#mkisofs /dev/sdb1
3) Mount the pen drive
#mount /dev/sdb1 /misc
4) Copy the required files from CD to the pen drive
#cd /misc
#cp /mnt/isolinux/* /misc
#rm isolinux.bin boot.cat trans.tbl
#mv isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg
5) Make the USB Bootable
#syslinux /dev/sdb1
6) Install grub on the usb pen drive
#grub-install –root-directory=/misc /dev/sdb
7) Create grub.conf file in the pen drive
#cd /misc
#mkdir –p boot/grub
#vi boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5
root (hd0,0)
title Install RHEL
kernel /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
8) Create one directory and copy the OS CD iso files within that
directory in pen drive
#mkdir images
#cd images
9) Create the ISO files of the CD
#mkisofs –J –r –T –o RHEL-disc1.iso /mnt
10) Unmount the pen drive
#umount /misc
11) Now Restart and boot system through USB
12) It boots like linux askmethod installation in this, need select
the “Had drive”
13) Then it is asking for, which partition OS images are present. In
our case it is “sdb1” (pendrive) then give the Directory holding
images as “images”.
14) Remaining is same as the normal installation.

hi Shrawan Singh Rawat

*Step 1 Goto the Linux DVD*

[root@server1 ~]# cd /media/RHEL_5.1\ i386\ DV/

*Step 2 Issue the following command*
[root@server1 RHEL_5.1 i386 DV]# cat  images/diskboot.img > /dev/sdb
here i am assuming that /dev/sdb is your pen drive. make sure you have
mounted the pen drive and linux DVD drive.
