This isn't really USB, but it is about booting from flash memory...
I've searched the board on this issue but still have a couple of questions:
Toshiba notebook, 128MB RAM, no HD, 256MB CF card in a PC Card adapter (shows up as hde1), booting DSL 1.0rc1 from CD.
I noticed when this notebook had a working hard drive that LILO offered my (then 32MB) CF card as a boot option. The hard drive has since died and I've purchased a 256MB card. I'd like, if possible, to do a frugal install to the CF card in the PC Card slot and boot from the card.
1) Since the frugal_instal.sh script wants an hda drive to install to, can I reassign hde1 to hda1 when I'm booting from a live CD, or would the read-only nature of the live CD get in the way?
2) If this is possible, how to do? Do I edit /etc/fstab, and, if so, do I change /dev/hde or /mnt/hde? Or am I way off base (which is par for the course for me)? :-)
Thanks!
