I want F9 on a USB stick. It's 8GB, and comes with a few files concerned with
using it on windows, so I don't really care whether they survive or not.
Most of my hardware is not so young, and doesn't boot off usb sticks.
However, the EeePC should do - it does from a Mandriva flash drive. It lists
the drive, in BIOS, enclosed in [ ] which seems to mean that it is not
bootable, so I looked at the drive with fdisk. It says
Disk /dev/sdc1: 8120MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: loop
and that 'The flag 'boot' is not available for loop disk labels'
Obviously I've done something wrong, but what?
Best guess is that you formatted it without a partition table and/or
boot sector. Try "fdisk -l" as root and see if you get more information.
