sorry for the lack of description - was a bit a the end of my day on that ~
it's resolve now but what went wrong was : my computer wouldn't boot from fat32 usb drive - had to format fat16 - but it was a 4gb so I needed to have it divided in 2 smaller partition not flagging it as boot drive - and updating to the latest unetbootin might have helped too - It's all good now though - if we describe the unetbootin process on the puredyne page I can add some of these details ;) thanks On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 2:00 PM, Dan S <[email protected]> wrote: > worked fine for me.
