Unless the USB device gets detected as a CD-ROM, the format is going to be wrong. The partition table and boot loader for a USB drive detected as a hard drive are different then the format of a CD-ROM. That is why programs like liveusb-creator are necessary.
i have not tried, it is what i have seen. that is, i thought i had seen. i do not keep browser history, so i had to do a lot of searching through sites that i recalled having logged in past, and i just now found the page. as it turns out, my recall was a little skewed, rather it was not in total of what i was recalling. the page had "dd1" and i presumed the '1' to be a notation to "dd if= of=", which turned out not to be. "skim reading" can be misleading sometimes. when i saw it, i did not look to see if/what the notation was, which it was not. in clarifying my saying it is installed, i should have said that it is an available sl package that can be installed. several months ago, not knowing that sl had it packaged, i installed liveusb-creator that i pulled from a site. before using it, i was told that sl had it packaged, so i removed what i had pulled and installed the sl release. i well imagine that there is little difference between the 2, i just wanted to maintain what sl has packaged in case there is any updating or other changes 'down the road' and any updates will keep my system current. as for 'boot', 'format', 'partition', i agree that there would be much difference between cd/dvd and usb. my apologies for the misleading/erred post. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. sl5.9 linux tc. hago. g . -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
