Cool! But that's still a fair number of steps. Why not create nslu2.img and write it to the disk with dd? My nslu2 is still stranded in a datacenter cabinet in Fremont, so I can't try it myself and find out why it doesn't work. Jeff On 4/26/07, Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: * Jeff

I can verify that there are still issues with the RC2 Installer if you do not preformat the Flash drive beforehand. Would it be helpful for me to put an nslu2 disk image online? That way people could pre-burn their USB flash drive from a desktop computer and skip a bunch of the installer steps.

I bought another nslu2 yesterday, and a 4GB USB flash drive. Absolute disaster; every combination I tried ended up failing, usually while installing the base system. Fiddled with the etch RC2 installer, armel installer, automatic vs manual partitioning, etc. Today I threw out the memory stick
