Hi!
I would like to have my flash drive prepared with recent Live image. I
know how to write image to an usb drive and how to boot it.
However, I carry 64GB large disk on my keys and I would like to have two
things:
- bootable live image
- data partition for common files, visible from Windows
- should boot both on recent computer with UEFI preference
- should boot also on older computer with legacy boot only.
I understand my expectations are not very low. But because the image
itself can boot on both architectures, I would hope there exist tools
able to prepare such configuration.
Unfortunately, gdisk can display partition tables on image only
partially. It is not able to modify it and add another data partition
after image ends. Which were the only required step after dd
if=Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-35-1.2.iso of=/dev/sdc as I naively
thought.
Do you know if is even theoretically possible? Are there existing tools
able to create both GPT and MBR tables, just like on Fedora images? How
are those images created?
I would be were grateful for any tips how to archieve my goal.
Cheers,
Petr
