 well I just had an interesting session with tuxboot. I finally got it
installed after I installed a qt4-dev-tools package..
then I ran tuxboot to install clonezilla on a USB stick. It didn't work
I installed puppy linux on that stick and... it did'nt work. I just GOT
this stick and it was formatted fat32. I blew away the partition,
repartitioned it fat32, installed puppy linux, and... it booted. Now I
know why I had issues with a video I put on that stick. the video worked
fine on the laptop it came from, but it had errors once I transferred it
to the USB stick. Brand new PNY USB stick. 32 GB. one that I was using
to back up my photos...
