<p class=MsoNormal>Martin,<br>
<br>
Tried with another USB stick - exactly the same result. <br>
<br>
This is what I did using an Ubuntu 7 machine (same with the other stick):<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>DOWNLOAD mkusbinstall<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- went to the page with the mkusbinstall, clicked on “raw”
and then saved the page that came up as “mkusbinstall”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- made the file executable <br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>SET UP BOOTABLE USB STICK<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- insert 2GB USB drive previously formatted with Windows
(FAT)<br>
- start Partition editor, delete the existing partition<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- Create new partition using all the space<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- Try format to ext2 – partition editor fails<br>
- Use Fdisk to create new p partition, plus toggle boot flag <br>
- Return to Partition editor and format, it succeeds (but suspiciously quickly –
only 5-10 seconds)<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>RUN MKUSBINSTALL<br>
- Run mkusbinstall from a folder with the OS image also inside<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- It succeeds, but with errors (see attached screen shot)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- boot USB in the machine which I want to install the XS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- get the error below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Could not find kernel image: linux<br>
boot:<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I may not be partitioning it correctly, apologies I am a beginner
with Linux and probably made a stupid mistake. Appreciate yr patience!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi David,<br>
<br>
- You seem to be suffering from a bad USB stick.<br>
<br>
- Please, let's get these things back on the list :-) You are getting<br>
reasonably good answers, perhaps not easy to understand, but we can<br>
help with that too.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
