Hello, mike. I have done some searching, and I found an answer to your question, I believe...I intend to test it out eventually. there is a program called Smart BootManager (btmgr) which can be obtained here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr/ I am not sure how to use it (yet), but it is a floppy bootloader which can be used to boot USB flash drives and such. As far as Xubuntu on a flash drive, I just found a tutorial (which I'm going to bookmark) for setting up a flash drive installation of Xubuntu Feisty (here): http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/xubuntu-feisty-now-from-usb-drive/ I've wanted to do this for quite awhile, but I didn't see anything for putting Feisty on a flash drive. I hope this helps. If I get the time to download the Xubuntu image and get things working, I'll write you and let you know how I went about it. Take care, and hope this helps some. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
