I have not tried this, but the 'isohybrid' command may allow the normal ISO image to be installed to a USB thumbdrive.
To test this, someone could take the normal astlinux iso image, then run the isohybrid command against it: isohybrid astlinux-0.7.XX.iso Then use dd to transfer the iso to the USB device: dd if=astlinux-0.7.XX.iso of=/dev/sdx (where x is your usb drive). I have not tested this, so I have no idea if it will work. You probably will not be able to add a unions partition on the same device. For now, I would definitely consider this 'unsupported'. It's on the list, but as I've said before, not a high priority. Darrick On 10/19/2010 07:01 PM, Michael Graves wrote: > Mea culpa. My experience is not with the current release.
