I'll make this quick: 1. With fdisk 1. delete any existing partitions on the stick. 2. create a new partition. 3. mark the new partition bootable. 4. write your changes. 2. create a ext3 file system on the stick's new partition. 3. run the live to usb tool. I know I missed all the details, but the steps above should be enough to get your stick running with Fedora 9.

I ended up doing something similar, I had to change the geometry of the flash drive, remake the partition, and reformat it. I use it with both windows and linux, therefore I formated it on FAT32 instead of ext3. I have been told that it is better to use vfat, I am not sure. I''ll do that test some other day. It is half working for me right now :) JP -- ------------------------------ /\_/\ |O O| <a href="mailto:pepebuho@pananet.com">pepebuho@pananet.com</a> ~~~~ Javier Perez ~~~~ While the night runs ~~~~ toward the day... m m Pepebuho watches from his high perch.
