USB booting :: Partitionning my usb pendrive
How will doing this effect an embedded system? I'd need about 100mb for both DSL and QEMU, but then if I have another 50mb freed up, will that be another harddrive that QEMU will recognize if booted embedded? Or will it be lost space? Because hdb will still be part of that initial 100mb partition.
I can see the advantage of doing this for a frugal boot though.
I Don't have any experience with proc emulators. All I could
offer is speculation. I would imagine that if you formatted the
second partition using a file system that the emulated OS
would recognize, it should just see it as a second drive.
why are we getting so complicated?
boot a DSL 2.3 live cd, and install to USB-ZIP from there.... that creats a 50MB partition for you which it puts DSL on, and partitions the rest for general use....
mpen, the problem with that is sda2 won't be visible to windows. that's not much good for some people.
anyways, i'm confused here. it's possible to see the second partition within windows if we format it after doing the usb-zip install using some file system type? great, which, what command should i use? 
öööööh?
Windows CAN see several partitions in USB-drives. Unless you have formatted the second partition to ext2 or ext3 or to any other format that windows doesn't regognize
If you install this you can use ext2/3 with windows!
