Hi!

I'm testing the latest rolling release (14 feb. 2016).

My usb drive has two partitions:
1- fat32, to be compatible with Windows files;
2- ext2, to install a live version of Slitaz.

When I tryed to create a Live USB through tazusb using the second partition (ext2), it seemed to work (no errors). But when I tryed to boot the computer using the usb drive, nothing happens.
I tryed again, using just one ext2 partition for the whole device; I've got the same result.

My solution was manualy set the "boot" flag at the right partition using Gparted, just after the creation of the Live USB. After this, the usb drive booted like a charm, with either one or two partitions.

So, my question is: Is there a way to make tazusb set automatically the boot flag at the correct partition?

Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day!
