Clay, If you happen to have the time, two of the Mandriva downloads I'm planning to snag when they release in the next couple days support bring written to Flash media. In that case, it's as simple as doing a "sudo cat MandrivaImage.iso > /dev/sdc", where sdc is the device of the Flash stick. You'd probably need a confirmation prompt to keep people from accidentally blowing away flash sticks, however. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 9:46 AM, Clay Dowling <<a href="mailto:clay@lazarusid.com">clay@lazarusid.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I just took a look at the netbook images for Ubuntu. It doesn't actually look that hard to modify the burnbox software to burn this to a flash drive, so I'm going to have a go at it next week. If I can't make it work there's really nothing lost, and it shouldn't take more than an hour to figure it out.
