USB booting :: Unable to install 2.1 to USB Drive



thats the ticket THANK YOU!! :D  :D  :D  :D
That's great news.

But it also, indicates that maybe we should go BACK to requiring a download of the bootfloppy-usb during the installation of pendrives. That will provide the best possible results.

See, again, local testing did not show these problems.
It is not until we have public access that some of the issues come up.

But when we can work together as a community, we can solve the problems. Now some may not like the net access download requirement during install but if it gives the BEST results then it should be so.
Robert, it may be possible to have your cake and eat it too.

If you have a special delay for USB booting, you can include this delay in the normal minirt24.gz linuxrc file.

But we do not want to see this delay all the time especially for livecd or Hard Drive frugal bootups, so it would only be activated using a special cheatcode, IE:

dsl usbdelay

and in the linuxrc:

if cmdline has "usbdelay" then
...
do the usb time delay
...
fi

and they you add the "usbdelay" cheatcode to all of the append lines inside the USB drive's syslinux.cfg file (at the same time that the cheatcode "frugal" is added to the same file).

Does this sound do-able, or am i on the wrong track?
