Hi Justin, thanks for your reply.
Step 22: Reboot your computer and set your system BIOS boot priority to boot from the USB stick
This won't work as X31 does not support booting from usb flash drive, which is specifically "excluded" in the BIOS boot list, only cdrom and diskette connected to usb port are allowed. I have tried to use liveusb-creator and unetin to do this, no result.

BTW could not find full version of F11) or another distro like ubuntu, suse etc. work?

From what I remember I used this tutorial
for my dell xp200 to boot the livecd to/from the usb
to install the system(keep in mind it is ubuntu, but should help
hopefully).
