Hi All, One thing I didn't see on the instructions and I did as a test was to use 'dd' to write the image to my USB flash drive that had a fat filesystem that is used with my windows systems. I just used 'dd' as instructed here: http://moblin.org/documentation/getting-started-guides/test-drive-moblin/using-moblin-live-image. Then I inserted the USB stick into my Jax10 MID and found that when it tried to run it the initrd0 it came up with a bunch of corrupt squashfs errors and dropped me into a shell prompt.
I then put an ext3 filesystem on the flash drive using mkfs.ext3 and then 'dd'ed the iso as instructed to the USB stick and it works fine on Jax10. I just didn't know if this needed to be added as a caveat for newbies to Moblin.org who test this out and are coming from a windows world. :-) (P.S. I didn't see anywhere on the instruction page listed above that the root password for installation is "moblin", does that need to be mentioned?)
