I just created a liveUSB using the tools on the livecd. I set it up with the partition as fat, and with persist enabled. It did not create a /boot/grub/menu.lst file, but set up grub and everything else fine. If anyone could post a working menu.lst file for a liveusb with persist, I would appreciate it!
Also, this is more of a wishlist item, but I think it should be clearer that USB sticks must be unmounted prior to running the installer. |

Some more info:
I got it to boot with the following menu.lst: (thanks to DZSidux on irc for giving me the gfxmenu line)
Code:
default 0
timeout 5
gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message
title sidux
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-9.slh.1-sidux-686 boot=fll quiet vga=791 fromiso=/sidux.iso persist
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-9.slh.1-sidux-686
However, it complained that no sidux-rw could be found. I recreated sidux-rw per the manual's instructions in /sidux-rw instead of /sidux/sidux-rw on the usb stick and everything worked.
And yes--I burned DAO (or more accurately, SAO). |
