It's nice somebody already did it. In reflection, I think also that unetbootin is an overkill as Leaf installs itself already. However, with an old motherboard (as I have) I have to take refuge to the trick using a floppy with initrd, ldlinux.sys and linux and use that as a bootstrap to load the rest of the packages from an USB stick (until my floppydrive crashes!). In my case protection (about which Gordon wrote) is not a problem as I unmount the usb-stick after the installation: just let it in place. After e.g. a power-out the system starts again as it is a memory only system and the floppy (also unmounted after system start) starts as soon as the power is back. Joep
