issues use the method described in the Debian Installation manual.
Hello Mark,
I'm able to use Unetbootin, for my computer the difference maybe that my
BIOS has USB emulation and I can set it as a Fixed Disk and Unetbootin
works, if I set the emulation any other way (Removable or Auto) the
flash drive will give me "boot error".
So I've been looking into other ways that will work and I found that
this is the Debian Way: http://tinyurl.com/bx5b34
I used a 'Lenny 505 AMD64 netinstall' iso on a small 256MB flash drive
and it worked just fine on both my laptop and desktop.
Notice: boot.img.gz has to be the same version and architecture as the
.iso you are using, "i386 boot.img.gz - i386 iso" or the same for AMD64.
I hope this helps Haines Brown and maybe some others that are trying to
get Debian onto their NetBook or other cd driveless computer. ;-)
