Re: Live USB-stick format

I want F9 on a USB stick. It's 8GB, and comes with a few files concerned with using it on windows, so I don't really care whether they survive or not.

Most of my hardware is not so young, and doesn't boot off usb sticks. However, the EeePC should do - it does from a Mandriva flash drive. It lists the drive, in BIOS, enclosed in [ ] which seems to mean that it is not bootable, so I looked at the drive with fdisk. It says

Disk /dev/sdc1: 8120MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: loop

and that 'The flag 'boot' is not available for loop disk labels'

Obviously I've done something wrong, but what?

Dumb question - did you run "fdisk -l /dev/sdc" or

"fdisk -l /dev/sdc1"? The first form is the correct one, and the second one will give strange results. From the output it looks like you used the second form.
