Seems to depend upon distribution. I've had trouble using it with RH based iso files--but this is probably an anaconda (the RH installer) defect. In general, it seems to work quite well with Debian based distributions. Many others, (Arch and FreeBSD to think of two), now have images that can simply be directly copied to a USB, with the dd command. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Cavalry's here!
