As type I'm sticking a distro onto a USB drive to boot; pun intended. In order to boot off a USB drive you need to place the contents of an iso image (most distros seem to come on live CDs these days) onto the USB drive, the drive must then be made 'bootable'. I tend to take the brain away from this and use UNetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ It's self explanatory, and mostly up to date. It will even download a live CD for you and place it on the drive. Then just set your bios to boot from USB... mattH -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Wednesday 2009-12-02 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
