BioOS installation document
1. BioOS ISO image download
Download BioOS ISO image files from an FTP site below (Clinomics.com).
- ftp://ftp.clinomics.com/Distribute/BioOS/
- ftp://ftp.clinomics.com/Distribute/BioOS/bioos20210729.iso (20210729)
- You can use gftp to download BioOS from Linux. As below:

- BioOS's distribution update is listed here: https://bioos.org/Update_history
There, you can see BioOS download links
2. Bootable BioOS ISO USB making (Boot USB generation)
BioOS uses a big ISO image file (over 4.7GB). You need to use "woeusb" tool to make this bootable BioOS disk.
1) Under Ubuntu Linux: install woeusb package.
-> apt install coreutils util-linux gawk parted wget p7zip wimtools
-> wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB/master/sbin/woeusb
-> chmod 777 woeusb
-> mv ./woeusb /usr/local/bin
2) Move BioOS iso file to a Linux machine that has woeusb installed.
3) Insert a USB drive to the linux box where woeusb is installed. (16GB or larger usb disk is recommended)
- Run a command as below to make a BioOS USB.
- Check your USB device ID using "fdisk -l". You will see something like /dev/sdb1
- Run "umount /dev/sdb" to unmount your USB drive (as Linux will automatically mount it these days)
Also, use /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1
-> woeusb --device /dev/sdX --target-filesystem ntfs
eg) -> woeusb --device /BiO/Live/Access/jong/BioOS_Ubuntu20.04_x86_64_Based_20210528_suan_v2.iso /dev/sdb --target-filesystem ntfs
- is the full path of BioOS.iso
- /dev/sdX is the USB device address. use fdisk -l to check this.

9) If you see this, reboot. BioOS is installed now.
