At the boot prompt respond " > linux askmethod" OK, I loaded the DVD disk contents to the USB hard drive. But I'm wondinger if I should be copying the iso file itself. When I boot the DVD iso file, I eventually get to a menu that includes /dev/sda1 and asks for a directory holding "images". I've tried putting several things here (like "images") but it reports "Failed to read directory /tmp/hdimage/images: No such file or directory." Rick B.
