Debian doesn't offer any advice to Windows users wanting to boot an image from USB. LiLi is a decent solution for them to use, as is Win32DiskImager. > Another solution doable from windows, more complex but more powerful > is detailed in the manual, here: > > 4.3.3.

The instructions for "Manually copying files to the USB stick — the flexible way" require access to a Linux machine to be carried out. For Windows users the following adaptation should work: Copy the hd-media vmlinuz and initrd.gz to a USB stick. Copy a Debian ISO to the stick. Install syslinux (using syslinx.exe) to its MBR. Write a syslinux configuration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
