Hi all A few weeks' back I asked for some ideas re: installing Debian on a laptop with a dodgy CD-R/W. I was wondering if I could do so using a USB memory stick and if anyone has tried this. My primary concern is in whether or not the BIOS will recognise the USB stick at boot, and how I might encourage it to do so, or - alternatively - get to the boot stage and then do the rest with a memory stick. If this involves using floppies to get into a boot routine, which of the files are best for loading onto floppies for this purpose? Thanks for any help.

If you have windows, or even another linux already on the machine check out: http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html. I've used this successfully to install Debian Sarge. -- --Jeff
