I have yet to EVER get that to work. The closest I get is have it start the boot/install process, then ask where the media/itself is. It forgets, and can't find the install media-- even though IT IS the install media. I've never figured that out. But, it is what it is. It does work nicely with the debian distros, such as Linux Mint though. ______________________________________________________________________ If life gives you lemons, keep them-- because hey.. free lemons.
