I'd advise doing it that way as if memory serves me right the installed version automatically writes the entries which in your case, initially, is no good. I may be wrong but you might be getting hung up on a bit of booting confusion. If you are NOT using a boot loader (Grub, Lilo, SBManager) then the bios will default to the first boot device which in your case should be the USB however remember its looking for a Windows environment so it will ignore the Linux and move on to CD, FDD, C: Now I know you put Lilo etc on the USB so in theory the BIOS should pick that up (I have no idea why its not) what you need to do (As one of my famous nasty fixes) is set the BIOS to boot from Floppy then insert the SBManager and boot. This pre-supposes that the BIOS is mounting the USB drive for your bootloader to see. If that's successful then there is something wrong in your Grub/Lilo install and or configuration. -- Dick Turpin "Stand and deliver!" _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://www.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
