Jimmy,

I inadvertangly sent this message to you personally, but here send it
to the list.

The directions for creating a bootable USB key don't mention running
cfdisk on it to make it bootable. I simply copied syslinux to the key,

but suspect I have to run cfdisk as well. Is that so?Haines Brown

I use gparted and it works for me, I do as I describe in the post youare replying to.
