I have exactly the system you describe. I started with a VMWare Lucid install on my Mac (based on a downloaded ISO) I then used the "Startup Disc Creator" that is included in Lucid to make a bootable USB stick, (System->Administration->Startup Disk Creator) to make a bootable Lucid USB stick. I needed to make a couple of BIOS changes to get the system to boot from the rear-panel USB slots, but I think that the front panel header is meant to support USB drives by default. However that is unwired on mine (and probablu yours) and the others worked. I recall a bit of messing about to get the drive bootable, I think it has to be FAT16 for example. Once the machine is booted you can install from a script. You will soon be able to create a bootable Lucid USB stick from the LiveCD image, I think, which will save a few steps. Currently the LiveCD is Hardy, which has been perfectly OK as a CNC OS for the last couple of years. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
