Step 1 is to burn the .iso to a CD or DVD (if you're running Windows), or to mount the .iso as a filesystem (if you're running FreeBSD or Linux or some other Unixy OS). An ISO file is a one-file image of all the bits and bytes on the CD/DVD, not something that generally is usable by itself except for shipping a CD/DVD image around. Just copying the ISO file to the USB stick isn't going to get you usable files. Step 2 is to update the boot sector on the USB stick. A quick Google search came up with lots of hits; this is one that may have solutions you can use: <http://www.bootdisk .com/pendrive. htm>. WARNING: You may have to format the USB stick as part of this process. First, Preserve Anything You Don't Want To Lose! Step 3 is to copy all the files from the CD or DVD or filesystem to the USB stick, preserving the directory structure. That's easy. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mi...@mikea. ath.cx Tired old sysadmin
