ambiguities and/or vagaries of USB flashdrives ....

I made a new 'live' SliTaz 4.0 usb

Same protocol as last time

(downloaded)ISO to usb via LILI

The last time produced a usb

that would boot on Atom system

not on Pentium

New usb boots on both smile

Hi hitsware

glad to hear that it is working now...have fun

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you copy (dd) the content of the working usb-flash onto the not working one?

If use this :

Hewlett-Packard's USB Disk Storage Format Tool

I have FAT32

If I make a boot to DOS USB

It is most robust ! (works way consistently)

BUT !

Linux distros are evedently challenged someways in the booting department ?
