Hello, Thank you very much for your help. But someone could tell me how can I do that ? I am a newbie on this subject... I would be very thankfull if you could send me a small step-by-step procedure. I know the flash card is seemed by the OS as a disk. So, the problem would be to make a disk bootable (how ?) and put on it a boot image to fetch the kernel (which one ?). Would you, please, help me ?
