Memory stick booting

["Jim Bodkikns (Dakotacom)" <JimBodkins@yahoo.com>]

  I am building a bootable stick (several). zcating the provided image 
(boot.img.gz) works fine but is a little small (~128meg). I need something 
larger. However, for reasons that I dont understand - or I wouldnt be here 
:) - that is failing. (instructions from http://d-i.pascal.at/ )


  My question, what are the origins of the image (boot.img.gz)? Can it be 
made larger? (using 1gig sticks). Creating a stick that I can access is 
trivial, but they wont boot - not with install-mbr or lilo. Dont know whey 
the zcat image works.

Thanks
Jim
