Installing to Flash Drive
Hello,
I'm trying a first time exercise, for me,
here....attempting to mount a Lenny dist. onto a 32Gb Corsair
flashdrive by way of a MS XP loaded P.C.
Installation is fine
until it comes to where the boot record is to be mounted, the
installation programme not seeming to want to place it anywhere other
than on the first IDE drive of the pc which is the property of an
internet cafe and therefore not appropriate. The whole idea of having a
flash drive is so that it's portable and I can plug it into any machine
on the road, enjoying my O.S. of choice and cutting back on the degree
of trace back, that is, privacy.
I've checked the onsite install manual which doesn't appear to have
anything, tried various /dev/ style nomenclatures, but nothing seems to
work.
I keep getting fatal error readouts.
Google doesn't seem to help either, so I thought I'd chase up the people that would have the specific knowledge.
I feel as though I'm missing something basic, here.
The Microsoft nomenclature for the flash drives placement is: SCSI7.
Any advice and trouble appreciated.
Regards,
Weaver.
