Personally, I would just like to know if anyone has used a memory stick in the same way as one can use a CD, after running "mkbootdisk --iso ..." and burning the ISO image onto the CD. Can one just say something like "mkbootdisk --device /mnt/memstick ..."? Is that likely to work? (I can't try this on my Sony Picturebook laptop, since I can't boot from USB. But I'm interested to know how I would do it if I could!) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
