Rob, What would happen if you ran the isotostick script on a hard drive partition rather than a Flash stick (or, say, ran it on a Flash stick and then DD'd that Flash drive's content onto the partition) and pointed GRUB to boot off that partition? I don't understand all the little pieces of the process, but with the little understanding I have this sounds like it *might* work. > --R --S _______________________________________________ Fwlug mailing list [email protected] http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org
