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 On Aug 24, 2007, at 2:56 PM, Matt Smollinger wrote: > Found this by googling "g4u usb boot": > > grab the 1.17 (single) floppy image and dd it to your stick? > Using rawrite under windows should work, too... > > (Someone provided me with an URL for that, but I forgot where I put > it... > But that was very Linux-specific :-/) > > > - Hubert > > That was in an archive from this list from 2006.
