Hello Family, I've just purchased a 1-gig Sandisk "Cruzer" pendrive for I need to have the full "first" iso image to reside on the drive. I need to have it boot as would a USB CDROM so I can initiate an NFS install at the (install) command prompt with: linux text askmethod I received this USB Flash Drive with a fat32 file system on in and was thinking of just taking my first CD of CentOS and doing: dd if=/dev/hdc of=/dev/sda I was thinking the above syntax from the days of using "dd" for floppy boot images to 1.44mb floppy disks. Any ideas on this? TIA -- Bill Schoolcraft <*> http://wiliweld.com "Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing." -- Redd Foxx
