[Sussex] Booting from a USB device

[Stephen Williams]

Brendan,

If 256Mb isn't big enough try this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freecom-30475-DataBar-16GB-USB-2-0/dp/B0013BRSKK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1202842304&sr=8-10

For the actual install this may be of use:

Also this:

Hope this is of use.

Steve W.
