Installation on an USB stick
If you are interested in installing SystemRescueCd on an USB stick, you must download the CD-ROM version (ISO image) first from the current page.
Testing the downloaded file
To confirm that the download was successful, you should check the checksum of the file. You can use any checksum provided on this page but the most recent algorithms such as sha256 are recommended. You can run a commmand such as the following one:
sha256sum systemrescuecd-x.y.z.iso
The checksum printed by this command should match the checksum provided on this page otherwise it means there are corruptions in the file you have downloaded. These checksum programs are part of coreutils on Linux and should be pre-installed with most distributions.
You can download sha256sum.exe for windows, and you can run the command from a cmd.exe terminal.
Writing the ISO image file to a CDRom
On Linux you can use either command line tools such as cdrecord/wodim or graphical tools such as k3b, brasero or xfburn.
On Windows you can use programs such as Nero or ImgBurn which is free.
