(It's an > HP microserver, and I don't have CD/DVD-player in it). No you cannot use the ISO images -- ISO images are for CD/DVD drives; dd'ing them or "flashing" them to a USB memory stick/flash drive will not work generally speaking. (Note to readers: please do not bring ISOLINUX into this discussion -- I beg you, please do not, not just for the technical aspects but also because it's not necessary in this situation). However, you can download the relevant memstick.img files and dd those to a USB memory stick/flash drive and boot from (just like standard 9.1-RELEASE memstick images). Point: these are not ISOs, these are raw images. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Making life hard for others since 1977. PGP 4BD6C0CB |
