I missed that - thanks. (Things are progressively harder to read these days.) It worked, too, and the BIOS found the USB stick and put it at the head of the list of bootable devices. I still can't loop-mount the iso though, either before or after running isohybrid. That's a problem for another day though; when the new SSD arrives for the Atom box I can set about building a new system, complete with email service (hah!). -- Regards, Peter.
