What's more exciting is that it also come with an 55M alternative iso, which is ideal for a Live USB. It is a pure Debian 386 based Live system that will boot any machine that allows booting usb. The root fs is read only, so it should be usb friendly. http://grml.org/faq/#grmlsmall tong -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Is there an image available somewhere (as the Debian Live Project does not have such an image (yet?) )? Just about any live/rescue CD/diskette with usb support should do the trick, I think. Knoppix, for example? Of course some USB sticks are smaller than a full CD, in which case you go for one of the smaller rescue/live CDs. DSL is 50MB, for example.

Re: USB rescue/boot disk
A simple solution would be to follow this instuction: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apas02.html#howto-getting-images-usb ISO media, in this case hd-media, can be found at this location: http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ The easiest solution would only consist of three steps. Extract and burn the hd-media.img.gz to an USB-stick. Add your ISO of choice to the USB and your set to go. Any Debian ISO would do, and you could change to a new ISO later if you wish. I'm not sure that this would produce a rescue CD, but it's a effective way to test any new Debian ISO-image. --- Espen Talberg Norway -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

USB rescue/boot disk
Hi , I want a bootable USB stick that will boot any machine that allows me to boot from USB: a Debian Live USB (and not CD). I have found a howto on the internet (http://feraga.com/) but that one does not seem to work for me. Is it actually possible to create an USB rescue/boot disk that contains a Debian Etch AMD64 or i386 based installation? Is there an image available somewhere (as the Debian Live Project does not have such an image (yet?) )? -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
