Thanks. I make a usb stick following chapter "4.3. Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting" of debian installation guide. sudo fdisk /dev/sdd .... create a FAT 16 bootable partition. sudo mkdosfs /dev/sdd1 sudo syslinux /dev/sdd1 mkdir x sudo mount /dev/sdd1 x sudo cp squeeze/trunk/installer/build/dest/hd-media/initrd.gz x sudo cp squeeze/trunk/installer/build/dest/hd-media/vmlinuz x sudo cp download/debian-live-squeeze-i386-standard.iso x sudo sh -c 'echo "default vmlinuz\nappend initrd=initrd.gz" > x/syslinux.cfg' sudo umount x sudo install-mbr /dev/sdd with iso download from http://live.debian.net/cdimage/daily-builds/squeeze/20101226-1/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-squeeze-i386-standard.iso The grub installation it's OK but I get debian installer bug #568529 "When installing from USB stick, grub-installer installs on stick's MBR instead of the hard drive's, making new system unbootable and breaking stick" If I start with usb connected, grub start and linux system from hd start OK, similar to old times floppy disk start up. I guess this is not a debian-live problem but a debian-installer problem. Curiously cdrom/initrd.gz recognize the hd as sda and usb stick as sdb and hd-media/initrd.gz recognize hd as sdb and usb stick as sda. In my ignorance, is there another way to make a bootable usb stick with debian-live-squeeze-i386-standard.iso ?
