Hi Andrew,
Driving test??
I don't want to run an OS from the USB I just wanted smartbootmanager
on the stick. My only usb boot option in the bios is "USB FDD". I was
hoping that sbn would scan and find my OSs (scattered across three
drives) without me having to edit grubmenu.lst each time I play around
with another distro. If I just install a new one and let it install
grub to the mbr it won't see third or fourth partitions. If you are
messing around with DSL or Puppy sorting the bootloader out takes
longer than the install! It's all good fun, and interesting.
