USB installer is a different matter.
First, please disable BELL on lbacache - it wreaks havoc on my wifes's
hearing aid. On 2nd boot I had to step through Config/autoexec.bat and ESC
out of LBACACHE.
Second on my Compaq Armada 1750 USB is only bootable by PLOP boot manager
and thus it a C: drive- this causes write protection on the USB (as it
should) with installer "confused" about how to handle the "ABORT, RETRY,
IGNORE error. Installation failed.
