Looking for an usb bootable installer and/or iso image
Hi!
Much, much thanks.
Yesterday, in the middle of the night, there was a big suprise ...
After I am used another USB stick, everything worked like expected !!
Unbelievable !
This stick was really used several times and continues to work, but this
stick, in this hardware, with this ISO don't work !! The same for another
hardware. This stick. I put it to the garbage, naturally. So, a smalled
priced piece, make the most expensive catastrophe.
Ok, I am on the road now ... and the mini.iso is definitively bootable ...
Much thanks for all hints and tips.
Best regards,
++mabra
