I don't know if this is still something people want to discuss, but I just got HamPC 1.2b booted up on a PC -- 2, actually.
Of course, it's named an "iso" but really should be an "img" or "bin" or something else, since it's a hard disk image.
First uncompress with XZ:
??xz -d HamPC_v1.2b_rc1.iso.xz
Then, I plugging in my USB device and looked for if with fdisk
? fdisk -l
I saw it on /dev/sdc (had a /dev/sdc1 partition)
I followed the steps from??-
??dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 count=1440
? dd if=HamPC_v1.2b_rc1.iso?of=/dev/sdc count=512 conv=notrunc
I then tried to boot it, but no luck...
Later, I found out my machine was not set to boot up an EFI partition, just legacy BIOS. (I think USB boot was also disables, IIRC.)
I enabled EFI and it worked. It also worked on a second machine that allowed EFI and USB boot options.
My next goal is to put it in VirtualBox. So far, I can't get VBoxManage to convert the whole drive into a VDI or a VMDK. (I'm still working on it, though.)
