Thanks for the VERY quick reply.... that is really a excellent support !!! Well, sorry I'm not really an expert in creating my own distro....
I have a USB stick with different distros (Puppy, dreamlinux) and they come with only a few files (vmlinuz, ...xx.img etc) I can boot this distro from my USB-Stick, so that works fine. So I would love to have my lfs on the USB-Stick in a few files too. Not to install it, just like the others as a live-distro... but I'dont know where to start: After all: How do I do a .img file of my lfs? Thanks anyway Rodolfo On Wed, 2009-09-23 at 14:24 -0500, Bruce Dubbs wrote: > Rodolfo Perez wrote: > > > I could install lfs-6.4 on my laptop and I'm really happy about my new > > lfs. > > Now I would like to put it on my USB-Flash drive.
