Topic: SOLVED Live from specified directory

Hello everyone,

I'm kinda new in *nix concepts so I hope someone can help me with a certain situation.

I'm trying to boot GPartEd live from USB using specified location of files (for example /dev/sda1/syslinux/GPartEd_0.21_i686/live/ ). Predictably it doesn't work smile. Kernel is booting but then "unable to find a medium containing live FS"

Do I understand correctly that I must use APPEND root syslinux directive, like
"APPEND root=/dev/sda1/syslinux/GPartEd_0.21_i686/live"
Does it need ending "/"?
Will sda* be different on different comps?

Got it. Just needed "live-media-path=" parameter.
