Installing mathematica from .iso

My College was nice enough to round me a up a linux version of mathematica (i.e. one of the math profs uses Ubuntu and it was covered under their distribution agreement) I have an .iso extracted from a zip file but when I try to run the installer nothing happens, I assume I'm missing some dependency. Anyone else have any luck with it?
If not I can always run the window's version under wine or the mac version on my macbook pro so no worries, it'd just be nice to have it on my more powerful machine.

Where are you running the installer from? I would try to run it from the command-line as it should give you some output. Also, if you are running the installer off the ISO, make sure it's not mounted with the noexec option as this will not allow you to run anything directly off it.

Install windows from iso on older mac

Hi everybody
I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro (15"), running Yosemite, and I want to install Windows on it using bootcamp.
Since my optical drive doesn't work properly, I hope for installing windows from an iso file.
The problem is the system's bootcamp assistant have not such option.
Is there a workaround for it?

You can modify the Bootcamp info.plist using Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS** , but for Macs with built-in Optical drives, BC Assistant sets the CSM-BIOS layer to boot from the Optical drive. There is no way for a user to change it. Some 2011/2012 Macs allow a USB/ISO combination, but older Macs will run into issues with Keyboard and Mouse drivers which may not work.

Howto install Arch from iso (without buring CD) -unable to chroot ...

Hi.
I have successfully used the method to install from another linux partition in the past - as outlined here - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux
- However I want to install the X86_64 version and my current machine doesn't have a pre-existing 64bit distro to chroot from....
I do not want to use floppy or cd to install - I always install from iso now, managed to get Fedora,Ubuntu, Gentoo and opensuse to install without burning the iso - Installing from iso is usually quicker and less prone to errors.........
I've tried the old method to boot from iso - here - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fas … nux_System
However when I boot I get this

You could try something like UNetbootin.

Hello,
i've read for hours about this but still i can't figure out how to make it work. I've an original ISO of Windows 7
and using the Bootcamp version of Mountain Lion. I follow the instruction but there is not way to let
bootcamp seeing the iso. I placed the iso in a usb drive, ran bootcamp, it download the windows support
but then is asking for the disc of windows... But i need to install it from usb. Any help? Should
i rename the iso or doing something else? thanks...

None taken, but ths will be much easier if you replace the optical (you'll almost certainly have to remove a drive in order to install Windows however you do it.)

You can't get there with GUID/GPT.
There are tips on making a USB flash device that is bootable.
You can set aside a small 6GB partition somewhere and put Windows 7 installer there and run it WHILE IN Windows.
Windows Vista can be upgraded in place to 7 RC.
You'll need NTFS (30-50GB).
Windows doesn't support FW for booting.
You can create a drive that has Master Boot Record.

How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1

How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1 ?
My Superdrive is far from super anymore, So I managed to make an extern drive with both Snow Leopard Partition, Lion Partition (Since I thought Boot Camp 4,1 would bypass my problem), and Time Machine partition, Since I got 1. USB drive that works.
- My general issue is that Boot camp Refuse to see the USB drive - (Many "how to"´s though show how they install windows perfectly through the USB port, but they use airbooks!, and somehow the Macbook will not ?)
I fix that issue with >> rEFIt <<, that suddenly makes it possible for the Mac to see the USB drive, and partitions.
Which was very strange since I could use an extern HD with the whole installation to start up wipe the whole disk, and then use my extern drive with partitions to install Snow Leopard and get everything as before with timemachine. Very smart with timemachine, but very lucky that I have a extern drive that runs the whole system and that I made the partitionsdrive before. DVD-drives are the past!
Point: So the original system could see the Snow Leopard installation USB disk, but boot camp cannot find the USB drive ?????????
After rEFIt I booted and then I got this error:
Starting bootmgr.efi
Error: Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi
I read it could be a problem with the Windows software, so I purchased an extern DVD drive, Used Disk Utility to make an image (.DMG), then used another program to convert the .dmg to .ISO.
Then downloaded a trialversion of vmWare fusion, and installed windows from the iso. Everything worked brilliant, except and that is why I want to use boot camp, Running windows in another program while running the mac system is a little hacky and slow.
Point: Nothing is wrong with the windows software, and windows runs fine.
I then downloaded the Windows DVD / USB Tool, reformatted a USB drive as Master Boot Partition, MS-Dos Fat partition, then after lots of struggling got Vmware, windows to recognise the USB drive. And installed the windows software on the USB drive, as all the walkthroughs recommend.
Then I tried for "fun"! to just install windows form the extern USB drive, and with rEFIt it will see the drive and start to do something, but then when it starts to boot, the screen just turns into black and nothing happens, and you can see the drive does NOTHING. (I think it is because I only have 1 USB drive and the Extern DVD drive does not get enough power, but again the mac refuse to see the USB drive unless it is a Snow Leopard installation USB-drive!
Well trying to install Windows Ultimate 64 Bit, which worked great in vmware, because that program installed from the .ISO file that I had on the desktop, but trying with Boot Camp did not get anywhere, what kind of **** program is this boot camp anyway!?, but then I try the new USB disk with windows made from windows, thorugh rEFIt, it sees the disk and then starts and then I get this ERROR:
rEFIt - Booting Legacy OS
Starting legacy loader
Using load option ´USB´
Error: Not found returned from legacy loader
Error: Not found from LocateDevicePath
(x 9 times)
Error: Load Error while (re)opening our installation volume
The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Note that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple´s firmware for legacy OS booting
(Hey Apple please send out a updated firmware that fix this issue?!)
So how do I do it ? - or is the only option to fix the partition running the system from the extern disk. Format the whole drive in 2 from the "bottom" and install windows and then afterwards install Mac on the other partition ? Or just run windows on the mac and forget about mac software ? What a stupid solution...

There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a mac-model device ID string that specifies yes. An unnecessary hurdle.

How do I install software from cd-rom onto my IdeaPad S10?

I just received my IdeaPad S10. How do I install software from a cd-rom onto it? I tried putting my cd-rom in my regular laptop and copying it onto a flash drive and then copying it to the IdeaPad. The installation starts, then I get a message that installation has stopped because the installation has been corrupted. Any easy ways to install software?

Here's what you can do.
Download virtual Clone drive (freeware) from here http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html install it on your S10.
Now on your destop, make a backup ISO of your software CD or DVD.
I use this http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm it integrates with explorer on the right click menu. There are other solutions also.
Once your ISO is created you can copy it to your S10 via network, usb key, etc, and mount it as a drive letter with Virtual CLone drive.
Hope that helps.

Can not install a Windows ISO in Boot Camp

I created a partition for Boot Camp and I am ready to install Windows. Downloaded a trial Windows 7 ISO from MS and copied to a flash drive. Boot Camp does not recognize the ISO and is looking for an installation disk. How can I Install the downloaded ISO?

Hi NCMau,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are trying to install Windows using Bootcamp on your Apple computer. I understand you are using a trial version of Windows as well. To install Windows via Bootcamp on your Apple computer, Windows must be the full version. Please refer to the attached article for further information.
Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support
Requirements
To use Boot Camp, you need:
An Intel-based Mac with a built-in keyboard, external USB keyboard, or an Apple supplied wireless keyboard, and a built-in trackpad, USB mouse, USB trackpad, or Apple supplied wireless mouse or trackpad.
Mac OS X v10.5 or later.
The latest firmware updates available for your Mac.
Boot Camp Assistant, which is located in /Applications/Utilities/ . You can also open Launchpad and type Boot Camp Assistant in the search field.
A DVD or downloaded (ISO) "full version" of Windows installation media. Boot Camp does not include Windows.
For additional requirements, see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
Cheers,
Joe

How to Install ArchLinux from harddriver???

I have downloaded iso image files from Internet. I want to install it from hard driver. How to do it? and where are the vmlinuz and initrd files?

I suppose you can do:
mount -o loop /path_to_.iso /mnt/cdrom
but this would have to be on a secondary HDD otherwise I'm not sure of the outcome, since you would be writing to the same target as your source.
All files you need will be in the iso.

How to install archlinux from pendrive/usb?

I downloaded archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso.
I unmounted the pendrive.
Would i format the pendrive with ext3/ext4 or fat32 or fat16 format?
After that i would do dd if=archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso of=/dev/sda
If i use unetbootin, should i format the pendrive with ext3/ext4 or fat32 or fat16 format?
Has anyone used unetbootin to install archlinux from pendrive/usb?

jasonwryan wrote:I'm pretty sure all of your questions are answered on the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … lash_drive
I did:
dd if=arch.iso of=/dev/sda
But after setting bios boot option to usb and reboot,it's not booting from usb.
What's the problem?
I get the normal grub menu.

Yes, all of those players and readers are available for free to download on the Mac. Go to the web sites for those applications and you will find the Mac versions to download. Or go to macupdate.com to find them.

Problem installing ArchLinux from hdd partition

I have a SATA drive mounted on a VIA Epia motherboard, but no CD drive, which is why I install directly from hdd.
Currently I have Zenwalk running, which only has Lilo (no grub even in the repos!!!). I copied to contents of the install ISO to a new ext3 partition and used the following entry in lilo (taken from this guide):
image=/root/tmp/isolinux/vmlinuz
label=ArchInstall
initrd=/root/tmp/isolinux/initrd.img
append="root=/dev/sda4 BOOTMEDIA=cd"
But it doesn't boot properly. It says:
::Initramfs Completed - control passing to kinit
IP-config: no devices to configure
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
kinit: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
kinit: init not found!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init
..and before all that it complains that it doesn't find anything new in /config and /packages, but these directories aren't suppose to exist, I guess, because they don't on the original iso?
Anyways, it looks like it's mounting /dev/sda4, but then dies because the init part isn't found. I had a problem with lilo warning me that the init ram image was too large, but then I added the "large-memory" option to lilo.conf and it stopped complaining.
Thanks for reading,
Benjamin

I found a solution!
Aparently syslinux is very good for booting anything made with isolinux. I think it's pretty universal. So what you do is simply to mount the iso, copy the contents to a fat 16 partition, rename the isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg and then run syslinux on the partition. It's described on this blog:

Installing Sol10 from DVD - USB drive as flash source

OK. First I managed to format the removable USB drive as UFS. Then I
could mount it as a UFS drive and copy my flash archive file onto it.
I've got another machine that I want to install Solaris 10 and use
this flash archive. So I boot from DVD and was hoping to be able to
specify the USB drive as location of flash archive. Trouble is even
going into the mini-shell it doesnt seem to work.
Any ideas? Or are there easier ways to do this?
I did think of Jumpstart or specifying the flash location as netwrok
drive or FTP but I dont think thats going to work. Trouble is first
time around I had a job getting the network interface to work - not
supported during the solaris 10 install but had to install a driver
later.
Is there any way to slipstream this driver into the Solaris 10
install? (like you can do with windows)

I have a Windows 8 ISO and a 8 GB USB drive, so it is my understanding that I should be able to create a Windows install disk on the USB drive using boot camp. This looks incredibly easy based on every tutorial I have found online, and if I got the screenshot they all show me, I'm sure I would have no trouble:
However this is not the screenshot I get. Originally I was trying to do this last night on OS X 10.7, and I thought the issue might be with my version of bootcamp, but I have now purchased and upgraded to 10.8 and have the same issue with boot camp 5.0, that is my Boot Camp initialization looks like this:
As you can see, I am missing the key option of creating a Windows install disk.
I've exhausted my google-ing capabilities trying to find out why my Boot Camp does not give me this option, or trying to find a work-around, but it seems to create a Windows install disk from an ISO on a USB without Boot Camp can't be done on a Mac.
Can anyone please help me resolve this issue?
You are nearly right, it can't be done on a Mac that has an optical drive, and yours does. Burn the ISO to a DVD.

Trying to install Archx86_64, core iso goes straight to GRUB. [SOLVED]

Hi there.
I'm trying to install Arch on a desktop with an AMD Athlon 64 X2. Previously the computer had WindowsXP installed with a few different partitions. Instead of going to the liveboot terminal, it goes to what I assume is grub. I've read about grub on the wiki and it doesn't seem like this is supposed to be happening.
This is the .iso I downloaded:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/iso/2009.02/archlinux-2009.02-core-x86_64.iso.torrent
What can I do to fix this or install directly from GRUB?

FTP ISOLINUX worked perfectly for me!
I ran into this problem at first, however:
failed to mount /dev/sr0
:scanning usb drives
failed to mount /dev/sda1
attempt to access beyond end of device
sda2: rw=0, want=4, limit=2
ext2-fs: unable to read superblock
failed to mount /dev/sda2
failed to mount /dev/sda5
failed to mount /dev/sda6
failed to mount /dev/sda1
error: cannot find boot device, can not continue
falling back to interactive prompt
But that was caused by the usb drive that I half-ways made into an bootable device. Removing it allowed me to continue on with to the Arch config window.
Thanks you all for your input and help. It was because of you that I have a fully Arch home environment! Good luck with all of your future endeavors, you guys!
