I've tested your image and it boots fine - as you siad it has no long names. I think you have to replace "msdos" with "vfat" in syslinux.cfg and leaf.cfg.

Hello all, Using David's tip I also created an usb image, this is just a small one for testing it only contains the packages also available on floppy.

They probably look ok on the stick itself but you can't load them with the "full" name. This can be solved with including and loading the vfat driver in the initrd_usb package, in that case you would also see the full initrd_usb name in the backup-menu. But this are just details, I'm very glad you managed to create an usb-image! > Best regards > Jørn > Regards, Eric --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Good point. Did not test that. Had a look just now, and in the Backup menu, it uses the initrd_u name.
