Steps for installing system rescue CD on USB are mentioned on http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_install_SystemRescueCd_on_an_USB-stick. Automated steps to install from linux using shell script do not work. Detailed steps that work are:
*Create folder for USB - '<tt>mkdir /mnt/usbstick</tt>'
*Mount USB (Fat32) partition: '<tt>mount -t vfat /dev/sdf1 /mnt/usbstick</tt>'
*Remove all files: '<tt>rm -rf /mnt/usbstick/*</tt>'
*Download latest system rescue CD image and mount it on <tt>/mnt/cdrom</tt> using '<tt>mount -o loop &lt;iso_file&gt; /mnt/cdrom</tt>'
*Use following commands to copy files to USB
<pre>
cp -af /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/usbstick/
rm -rf /mnt/usbstick/syslinux
mv /mnt/usbstick/isolinux/isolinux.cfg /mnt/usbstick/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
sed -i -e 's/scandelay=1/scandelay=5/g' /mnt/usbstick/isolinux/syslinux.cfg
mv /mnt/usbstick/isolinux /mnt/usbstick/syslinux
</pre>
*Make disk bootable using
<pre>
umount /mnt/usbstick
syslinux /dev/sdf1
sync
</pre>
