Media is formatted with FAT32/ISO9660/UDF, (first one mainly because of UEFI), but that doesn't mean Linux installs they supply use FAT32. Linux root filesystem is often packaged in a squashfs image, mounted by initrd, and both are located on a FAT32/ISO9660/UDF formatted media. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
