Hello,
I'm trying to build a USB bootable key with file
'Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso'
Command is :
sudo livecd-iso-to disk Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso /dev/sdd1
which runs fine, boot loader included, and reports that USB key is
ready for use ... however the key is not ignored during boot (the
sequence continue correctly with following drive in the BIOS boot
order).
I'm using an Asus eee pc (model 900) which is correctly configured to
boot via USB key as I tried it with a Debian bootable USB key which
boots fine.
I also tried another .iso, (precisely the EEdora dedicated to Asus
eee) but got same problem.

which looks correct.
So opparently the problem come from livecd command whatever final
report OK.
Is there some knwon problem with livecd-iso-to-disk ? I'm using
Fedora-9.
Or can I build a USB key using another as a workaround ?
Many thanks for attention and any clue.
Bye,
Bruno
You may have to run "syslinux -s /dev/sdd1". I forget where I found
it, but with the version of syslinux included in F8, and probably F9,
needs this before the USB key is recognized as a boot device. The
latest version is susposed to handle this automatically, but it has
not make it to F8 yet.

'syslinux -s /dev/sdd1' (which runs fine) unfortunately seems not to
resolve the problem : the USB key remains non-bootable... :-(

Bruno
