I find Spanish easier to 'sort-of' follow than German, smaller words perhaps .. lots of it made sense anyway. Browsed through that while dd'ing the 8.0-R memstick image from my T23 Thinkpad (25 minutes at USB 1.0 :), wondering whether there were recipes for a 7.2-R bootable USB image somewhere when I found your usbBoot.txt there, using a more traditional slice arrangement I gather. Will study this for the generic techniques. (No 3G phones here, no coverage - the price of living in Nirvana - but by the time I graduate to the old folks' home I'll probably need one :) I'll save my adventures trying to install 8.0-R for another topic ..
