Hi Jerry, I now understand... thanks.
I (quite obviously) am not an expert Linux user, so sorry I am a bit slow and frustrated...:( these things can take days to work out if you don't have one small step of information.... I have tried to follow the instructions on the wiki page, but it does not tell me how to run the mkusbinstall script. With bash?. I am also told to download it by clicking on the "raw" link, which provides me with the script in the browser. Do I just save the page, copy/paste into a text file? How do I invoke it? Can I do this on an XO (or on an XS - I have another one successfully installed from a CD) David Leeming -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Vonau [mailto:jvo...@shaw.ca] Sent: Friday, 13 February 2009 11:28 p.m. To: David Leeming Cc: 'XS Devel'; 'Pia Waugh' Subject: RE: [Server-devel] Install from NFS server On Fri, 2009-02-13 at 23:09 +1100, David Leeming wrote: > Hi Jerry > > All totally incomprehensible to me! > > David Leeming > Technical Advisor, People First Network, Honiara, Solomon Islands > Alternative email address: leemingda...@yahoo.com.au > You took a shortcut and got burned.. What you have on that USB flash drive, is the kernel and initrd from the older installer which is looking for the older iso, and can't find it. To setup the USB flash drive correctly use "mkusbinstall" as recommended at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software Optional: Using a USB key/disk for installation Jerry _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
