Burning the Contest Image to an USB Drive

The image will connect to our server using a VPN on UDP port 1194.
Please make sure your firewall allows that.
A hardwire connection is required. WI-FI will NOT work.

• Windows
• Download Rufus
• Insert blank USB drive (4gb at least)
• Run rufus (as administrator)
• Select the USB drive from the "Device" list (make sure it's the right one!)
• Press the "Select" button on the right and choose the ISO image you downloaded
• Leave the rest as defaults.
• Press Start.

• Fedora/Linux
• You must download and install the livecd-tools as root, if they are not already installed: dnf install livecd-tools
• Insert blank USB drive (4gb at least)
• As root:
  /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk --format --noverify \
  --force --reset-mbr \
  --efi image.iso /dev/sdX1
  Where the X in /dev/sdX1 is the drive letter of the USB drive.
  Be very careful and make sure you have the right drive letter or you could clobber your
  hard drive. (Often, doing "dmesg" right after inserting the USB drive will give you an indication
  as do the correct drive letter (example):
  • [836008.107744] usb-storage 1-7:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
  • [836008.107803] scsi5 : usb-storage 1-7:1.0
  • [836009.445872] scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access SMI USB DISK 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
  • [836009.446604] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 8052736 512-byte logical blocks: (4.12 GB/3.83 GiB)
  
  
  • In this case, "sdb" is the device, meaning that "X" would be "b".
