Most laptops that have USB support offer this already and many desktop boards are being developed with this as sort of an undocumented feature. Intel I know is trying to incorporate it into all of their new boards. When this becomes a standard booting from USB will be no different that booting from a floppy or a CD. Until then I'm trying to develop a way to boot from a floppy or CD that will enumerate the USB device and then load it's boot loader. Similar to OldBios that allows booting from CD's when the BIOS doesn't support it. And thanks for noticing me

Supposing you do have BIOS support for this, making a bootable USB Flash device is very similar to making a bootable cd-rom. But just the same, here's specific instructions for creating a bootable USB Flash device.

This HP utility has been reported to work with non-HP devices by setting the BIOS to boot from USB HD or USB Zip or similar.
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/f...load/20306.html I'll let you know how it works out for me. Sorry for so many posts in a row.

Simply. Amazing.
It seems like every time you post, I add another entry or two to my bookmarks, Nilpo

Very interesting...
If I had a big enough memory stick I'd almost be tempted to get Knoppix running on it. I think I'd like that better than a CD, as it shuld be faster and can utilize extra space for swap. Maybe I'm just dreaming...

Or maybe not? Knoppix is packaged with a bunch of "extras" to make it feel and look like a regular operating system. With a little tweaking we could probably get it to work. Exactly how much space do we have to work with? Last edited by Nilpo : February 9th, 2005 at 06:33 AM.

1 512MB stick, one 512MB stick split into two 128MB sections.
The problem is, this is the memory I use in the digital camera, so the Linux distro would have to run on the filesystem already there so I could just copy Linux back and forth to the HDD.

slipstreaming patches on other software?
Hello gang,
I recently completed two slipstreams for SP2 - one of them an unattended lean and trim version I made with nLite. however - I once read a thread somewhere of an elusive tool or software that will also integrate patch files into their main file. For example: I wish to integrate a SP3 into my Corel Office program. I've played with variations of the Run>update.exe command but can't get it right - if it can work at all. Another example is that I want to try and integrate Nero Burning Rom 5.5.10.56 into my full Nero 5.5.1. Any free-ware tools out there that would do the trick? Or can someone point me to a tutorial in using the update\update.exe or integrate commands? Thanks! Theoschela |
