Hi. Thanks for the reply. No, we tried the 1.17 image just dd'ing it  
to the stick. Booted fine but useless in terms of functionality. Due  
to updated chipsets and controllers we must use the 2.4-alpha1 which  
is 3 floppy images or the cd iso.

Booting cdrom is useful, but USB is ideal because not all of these  
laptops have cdrom drives (think X-series IBM/Lenovo units).

I wouldn't have thought this to be too difficult but am not coming up  
with much that's useful I'm afraid. I can't be the only one out there  
trying to get this operational on a USB stick. Or can I?? :-)

Regards,

Alan
