If the drive is mounted, unmount the drive:
c
umount </dev/DEVICENAME>
where </dev/DEVICENAME> is the device name of the USB flash
drive.
6 Determine the device name of your USB flash drive:
If the USB flash drive was automatically mounted (and subsequently
a
unmounted), use the device name assigned by Linux in the steps
below.
If the USB flash drive was not previously mounted, generate a dmesg
b
log to show the newly connected devices.
Enter:
dmesg
Examine the log messages to determine the device name for the USB flash
drive.
7 Write the image from the CD-ROM to the USB flash drive:
dd bs=1M if=<SLETC update> of=</dev/DEVICENAME>
where <SLETC update> is the name of the SLETC image on the
CD-ROM (for example:
/media/Novell_SLETC_for_Dell/Novell-SLETC-10-SP2-
1-for-Dell.raw), and </dev/DEVICENAME> is the device name
of the USB flash drive.
8 When the write operation is complete, remove the USB flash drive from
the Linux system and use it to re-image the FX160 computer (see
"Re-Imaging SLETC on an FX160 Computer With a USB Flash Drive" on
page 10).
