Hey David, Investigatet that a little bit. Altough it's a good idea it would require different versions for different OS/*nix variants and as much explanations as a simple image. With my limited knowlegde of this type of script, the saving would be in the "creation" process and not neccecarily on the "user" end. There I could see a few other issues. With a "clean" image it could, and in fact have been on most of my sticks, as simle as "dd if=image_file.img of=/dev/sda". I guess it could not be any simpler than that :-) Maybe you have some deeper knowlege that can enlighten me more?

How about a self-contained shar script? That is, a single text file which contains the binaries and scripting needed to get it "unravelled" onto a USB stick? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
