KP & All, >>A default leaf.cfg like in the floppy images would be nice. >>Eric pointed to the modules problem (they are truncated in the latest image). I've taken the leaf.cfg from the floppy and converted to the stick image.
I've also tried to create a partition on the stick using partition id b (W95 FAT32) as well as adding the vfat module and the ext2 module to the INITRD_USB.LRP file. I can not get it to use full lenght file names in the menues. Maybe it's a "cant see the forest for all the trees" kind of issue..

We got, basically, 3 test of my former image. It seams to work and it would require about the same effort (for the end user) as creating ISO/FD. I wonder though, for the W32 users, is there a tool similar to dd that they can use? Ideas anyone?

Jorn; A default leaf.cfg like in the floppy images would be nice. Eric pointed to the modules problem (they are truncated in the latest image). Long term I'd like to see a solution which works without too much human intervention - similar to ISO/FD creation.. or if that doesn't work we may be better off with a script like in 3)? But for the current version 2.4 we can add your image if the remaining pb's are solved. kp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
