That doesn’t mean that it needs to be blank. It means that its format has to be FAT32 or NTFS. The USB Device should not loss any data but, as always, you are advised to backup your USB Device. In the YUMI Step 1 dropdown make sure to select the Drive Letter that identifies the USB drive where you want Rescatux to be put in.

If it’s the first time you are using Yumi you will be asked to confirm what it’s going to do. Say Yes. A dialog progress will appear that shows how USB is being prepared. Then a dialog progress will appear that shows how ISO file contents are being unpacked. Finally you see All Finish, Process is Complete! Click on Next > button. When you are asked: Would you like to add more ISOs/Distrows Now on X:? Click on No button. Finally click on Finish button. When the YUMI program is closed then you have finished this step. Sorry no info on how to Put Rescatux into an usb pendrive as an Isolinux from Gnu/Linux yet. Sorry. This is the method that it should always work. Unfortunately it wipes all the pendrive contents. It’s only recommended if your pendrive is about 1 GB size and you don’t mind having about unused 600 MB space in it. No info on how to put Rescatux raw image into an usb yet. Sorry. This is the method that it should always work. Unfortunately it initially wipes all the pendrive contents. After an additional steps the pendrive can be reused to store any data and Rescatux is also there ready to be used. No info on how to put Rescatux raw image into an usb and use it as an storage too.

The instructions on the page are aimed at stable Rescatux.
In the case of 0.32 beta 1 version which it’s not Super Grub2 Disk based but Isolinux based there is no need to extract the iso inside the iso.
Just use the iso directly just as if you had extracted it in these instructions.
These instructions will need to be updated when Rescatux 0.32 stable is out.
Thank you for pointing it out.
Dear,
Please kindly tell me the password when login. Thanks for your help!
Sincerely yours,
sudo -i
and you should get a root password.
The other one is:
user: user
pass: live
but Rescatux should not ask you about a password never.
YUMI now has a Rescatux option. Is it better than the “Debian live” one or is there no difference?
YUMI and other tools alike either:
in order to gather feedback on:
https://github.com/rescatux/liveid
I didn’t get feedback from any of them.
The new Rescatux option in YUMI itself might be a response to the liveid adding.
I have no access to YUMI source code (nor I want to search if it’s even available) but I highly doubt its parsing option is the right one.
The next liveid implementation should have a fixed place where to store liveid so that it’s easier to YUMI (or other tools) to put the live cd in a folder in a usb.
It would be nice if you could contact YUMI developer and make them to open an issue on liveid github issue page or the rescatux one.
https://github.com/rescatux/liveid/issues

I cannot help them if there is not communication.
